Single-user Project Setup Wizard
- To start the Project Setup Wizard, choose Project > New Project > with Wizard... in the
Launch Pad. The Project Setup Wizard appears.
In the Project Setup Wizard
The Wizard starts by asking you to select how you intend to use the new SNiFF+ Project.
- Accept the default selection, Standard Setup, and press Next.
The "Select developmental task" page appears.
In the remaining steps, we will refer to the names of Wizard pages. You can find a page's
name in the title bar of the Wizard.
In the "Select Developmental task" page
- Select Create a new SNiFF+ Project from scratch and press Next.
In the "Your development organization" page
This tutorial is for single-user / single platform development without CMVC, so:
- accept the defaults (No/No/None) and press Next.
In the "Select file types" page
- Select C/C++ and press Next.
Note that, after project setup, you can add new standard file types (like the ones in the
"Additional File Types Column"), or create and add your own.
In the "Specify Private Working Environment" page
You are asked to specify your Private Working Environment (PWE) root directory. A Private Working Environment is simply the directory in which you work and where SNiFF+ administers your project.
Press Browse, and in the Directory dialog, navigate to
<complex_dir>/user
, double-click
on it and then press Select.
In the PWE name field, enter a name for the PWE, e.g.,
complex private
.
Notice that your user name is entered next to the selected Owner check box. SNiFF+
needs your user name to correctly handle permissions. Being the owner of the PWE
means that you are the only one who is allowed to modify its attributes.
Press Next.
In the "Create New SNiFF+ Project" page
You are asked to specify the root directory of the new project and to specify two other setup attributes (described below).
SNiFF+ automatically enters the root of your PWE in the Project root directory field.
Modify the entry in the Project root directory field to specify the root directory of the new
project's source code. This should be:
<complex_dir>/user/complex
Notice that the new project's name has changed to
complex
. We suggest that you
accept this name. Also by default, Create Subprojects is enabled.
Select the Use SNiFF+'s Makefiles checkbox.
Press Next.
In the "Project Setup Summary" page
This page summarizes your specifications for the new SNiFF+ project and required Working Environments.
- Make sure that your Project Setup Summary page is similar to the following. If it isn't,
please go back to the beginning of the Wizard and start again.

- Press Finish.
SNiFF+ will now create the new
complex
project and all its subprojects.
In the dialog that appears asking if you want to generate cross reference information,
press No.
When SNiFF+ is finished, it opens the new project and displays its structure and contents
in a Project Editor.
