In this example we show how to create a new project using one of the built-in Carbide templates, how to build it into an executable, and how to launch the debugger to verify program accuracy. The steps to do this include:
Everything starts with a project. So the first step is to use the New Project wizard to create a project based on a known template. Program templates are designed to make creating common project types fast and simple. They include the basic sources, resources, includes, and build files that Carbide uses to manage your project.
The New Symbian OS C++ Project window appears to guide you through project creation process.
Select the template for the type of project you want to create. For this example we chose the S60 > GUI Application template. Note that as you select a template a brief description appears below the list explaining it attributes.
The project name is used to define several of the pre-build source files in the prject.
Uncheck the Use default location option to specify a different location for the project.
Based on the installed SDKs you can choose between SBSv2 (recommended) and the older SBSv1 build systems.
Here you can select from any SDK that is both installed and recognized by Carbide. If the SDK supports several build configurations (GCCE, RVCT, etc.) then you can pick and choose among them for your project.
Carbide uses the selected project template and your settings to create a new project in the Project Explorer view.
