Importing a project

To import an existing project to the Project Explorer in the Carbide.c++ IDE, do the following:

  1. Go to File > Import.
  2. Select Symbian OS > Symbian OS Bld.inf file, and click Next.
  3. Click Browse to find an existing bld.inf file from your API project, and click Next.
  4. Select the build configuration (that is, the S60 Platform release version you want to use for your project), and click Next.
  5. Select the .mmp file to be used and click Next.
  6. (Optional) Modify the project's properties: API name and the root directory.
  7. Click Finish.

    The metadata (.metaxml) files contained in the project are displayed in Project Explorer, as shown in the example below, and are ready for opening and editing.

    If the project does not contain any metadata files, see instructions in Creating a new metadata file.
