Creating a New Project

To create a simple project, start Eclipse* and follow these steps:


  1. From the Eclipse File menu, select New > C Project. The C Project wizard opens.

  2. For Project name, type hello_world. Check the Use default box or specify a directory for your Executable C Project.

  3. In the Project Types list, expand the Executable project type list using the arrow character and select Hello World ANSI C Project. In the Toolchain list, select Intel(R) Toolchain for Executable on platform-id where platform-id is either IA-32 or Intel® 64.

    Click Next.

  4. The Basic Settings page allows you to specify template information, such as Author and Copyright notice, which will appear as a comment at the top of the generated source file. You can also specify the Hello world greeting string to be displayed by your hello_world program as well as a Source directory relative to the project where your generated source file will be created. When you are done filling in the desired fields, click Next.

  5. The Select Configurations page opens, allowing you to specify the platforms and configurations for deployment. By default, a Debug and Release configuration will be created for the selected toolchain. Click Finish to complete creation of your new hello_world project.

  6. If you are not currently in the C/C++ Development Perspective, you will see the Open Associated Perspective dialog box. In the C/C++ Perspective, click Yes to proceed. In the Project Explorer view, you should now see an entry for your hello_world project.

The next step is Adding a C Source File.
