The Project Setup Wizard for browsing only

  • To start the Project Setup Wizard, choose Project > New Project > with Wizard... in the Launch Pad.

In the Project Setup Wizard
The Wizard starts by asking you to select how you intend to use the new SNiFF+ Project.
  • Select Browsing-only Setup, and press Next.

  • The "Select file types" page appears.
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 project location and name" page
  1. Press the Browse button next to the Source code root directory field and navigate to < your_source_root_directory >.
  2. Double-click on < your_source_root_directory > and press Select.
    SNiFF+ sets the path and gives the project the same name as the value of the Source code root directory field. By default, the Create Subprojects check box is selected in the Wizard. This means that SNiFF+ will automatically create subprojects for all the subdirectories of your project. Which is fine.
  3. Press Next.
In the "Project Setup Summary" page
This page summarizes your specifications for the new SNiFF+ C++ Project.
  1. Make sure that your Project Setup Summary page is similar to the following. Except for the Project root directory and the project name, the rest should be the same. If it isn't, please go back to the beginning of the Wizard and start again.

    Click for full size, then use Back button

    If the information on the Project Setup Summary page is similar to that in the illustration:

  2. Press Finish.
    SNiFF+ will now create the project and all its subprojects.
  3. In the dialog that appears asking if you want to generate cross reference information, press No.
    Cross Reference information will be automatically generated when you open the Cross Referencer.
    When SNiFF+ is finished, it opens the new project and displays its structure and contents in a Project Editor. You can now browse your own project, following the steps in the browsing part of the C++ tutorial.
  4. Close the new project that you have created.
What's next
You won't be using the filebrowser project in the tutorials to follow. You can either delete the project, or, if you want to keep the project for later reference, just close it. Note that "deleting a project" means that only the files generated by SNiFF+ are deleted, source code files remain untouched.
  • To delete the project:

  • In the Launch Pad, make sure that
    filebrowser.shared is highlighted and choose
    Project > Delete Project filebrowser.shared.
  • To close the project:

  • In the Launch Pad, make sure that
    filebrowser.shared is highlighted and press Close Project filebrowser.shared.
The next tutorial introduces you to
  • setting up a single user/single platform project for C++ development

  • setting up the SNiFF+ build system

  • tools used for editing, compiling and debugging C++ code with SNiFF

  • Please note that in the tutorials to come, you will be using the Complex code example.
