<title>Creating New Projects</title>

    <p>New  projects are created using the <b>New Project Wizard</b>. Carbide includes a number of templates that make creating projects for different SDKs and executables quick and easy.</p>

    <p class="note"><b>NOTE</b> You must have  at least one recognized SDK installed before you can create a project. See the <a href="../reference/SDKPreferences.html">SDK Preferences panel</a> to determine if the installed SDKs are recognized by Carbide.c++ IDE. If the SDK you have is not recognized, you may still be able to <a href="sdks/sdk_add.htm">add</a> it to the Discovered Symbian OS SDK list.</p>

    <h3>Creating New Symbian OS C++ Projects</h3>

    <ol>

      <li class="step">Select <b>File &gt; New &gt; Symbian OS C++ Project</b> to invoke the <b>New Project</b> wizard.</span></li>

        <p><img src="../images/step1.png" width="546" height="142" alt="" ></p>

        <li>The <b class="step">New Symbian OS C++ Project</b> wizard appears. Select a template related to an installed SDK.</li>

      <p>A project template provides the initial source files and project settings appropriate for the chosen project type. A brief description of each template appears below the list. The project type determines the type of program that you are writing.</p>

      <p class="note"><b>NOTE</b> If the selected template requires user input, additional wizard pages will collect data from the user before creating the project.</p>

      <p>Checkmark the <b>Filter templates based on enabled SDKs</b> option to only list  SDKs enabled in the <a href="../reference/SDKPreferences.html">SDK Preferences</a> panel. Uncheck this option to list  SDKs that can be used with Carbide. Click <b>Next</b>.</p>

      <p align="center"><img src="../images/step2.png" width="500" height="567" alt="" ></p>

      <li>Enter a name for your project. </li>

      <p>Checkmark the <b>Use default location</b> option to save the project in the current workspace by default or uncheck it to save to another location. Enter the path in the <b>Location</b> field or click <b>Browse</b> button to locate the directory. Click <b>Next</b>.</p>

      <p align="center"><span class="Image"><img src="images/new_proj_name_location.png" alt="new project" width="500" height="567"></span><span class="Image"><br>

      <li>Select the <b>SDKs and Build Configurations</b>. </li>

      <p>Checkmark the <b>Filter SDKs based on selected template</b> option to only show  build configurations based on the selected SDK template, or uncheck to show all enabled SDKs and their related build configurations.</p>

      <p align="center"><img src="../images/step4.png" width="500" height="567" alt="" ></p>

      <p class="Image">The Symbian OS SDKs wizard page shows a tree of the SDKs and the type of builds available within that SDK. Select a single SDK

        if the program you are developing is for just one version of a platform,

      or select multiple SDKs to build the program for multiple build platforms or SDK versions.</p>

      <p> The build configuration allows you to specify the compiler(s) to

        do the build, and whether debug and/or release builds are required. For this example we recommend using the Emulator Debug version as the <a href="../concepts/build_configurations.htm">build configuration</a>. Later, you can <a href="projects/prj_set_build_tgt.htm">switch</a> to another build configuration to create the project for a specific device.</p>

      <p> Click <b>Next</b>.</p>

      <li>Set the project properties in the <b>Basic Settings</b> page. </li>

      <div align="center"><img src="../images/step5.png" width="500" height="567" alt="" >        </div>

      <blockquote>

        notice and Target Type for console EXEs.</p>

      Author, Copyright notice, and Text to be shown are used in comments created by the wizard in the source code.    

      </blockquote>

      <li span style="font-weight: normal;">

          <p align="center" class="Image"><img src="../images/step6.png" width="500" height="567" alt="" ><br>

          <p class="note" style="font-weight: normal;"> <b>NOTE</b> The project directories depends on the selected template. That is, the directories required to store project data may

      change based on the template used. </p>

      <p>Accept the defaults or enter the names for Include and Source folders to be created under the project root directory. Generated files will be copied to these directories.</p>

      <li> Click <b>Finish</b> to create the project.</li>

      <p>This generates the necessary files for the project based on the template selected and show them in the <a href="../reference/view_cpp_projects.htm">Project Explorer</a> view.</p>
