New C/C++ Application Wizard: Name and Location
See Also
The New C/C++ Application wizard enables you to create a new C or C++
application project. The New C/C++ Qt Application wizard is similar, and
allows you to create a new C/C++ Application that uses the Qt libraries
and tools.
In the Name and Location page, you must set the following properties:
- Project Name. Specifies the display name of the project.
This name is also used to create the project folder.
- Project Location. Specifies the folder where you want to store the
project metadata and source code. When you create an empty C, C++, or Fortran project, you
cannot store the project folder and project source code in separate locations like
you can with projects based on existing makefiles.
You can also set the following properties:
- Project Makefile Name. You can change the default name of the project makefile.
If a makefile already exists in the project folder, the default name is Makefile-project.mk; otherwise,
the default name is Makefile.
- Create Main File. You can change the default name of the main program file, and select the
C or C++ language from a list. By default the name is main and the language is C++. For Qt projects,
the language can only be C++.
- Development Host. You can select the localhost or a remote development host
that you have previously set up. The project will be built and run on the selected development host.
- Tool Collection. You can select a tool collection that has been previously configured for the selected development host.
The tool collection will be used to build and run the project.
- Set as Main Project. Sets the newly created project as the
main project.
