<li>Select the type of project to create. For this tutorial, expand the <b>C++</b> folder and select <b>C++ Project</b> and click <b>Next</b>.
<ahref="javascript:void(0)"onClick="newWin('../images/cdt_w_basic03a.png')">Click here to see an illustration.</a><br></p>
<p><br>The <b>C++ Project</b> wizard opens.</p>
<ahref="javascript:void(0)"onClick="newWin('../images/cdt_w_basic04.png')">Click here to see an illustration.</a><br></p>
<p><br>By default, the CDT filters the <b>Toolchain</b> and <b>Project types</b> that it displays in those lists based on the language support for the C++ Project wizard you selected for this tutorial.</p>
<li><p>From the <b>Project types</b> list, expand <b>Executable</b> and select <b>Hello World C++ Project</b>. This project type provides a simple Hello World application in C++, and the makefile is automatically created by the CDT.</p>
<br>
<li><p>Select a required toolchain from the <b>Toolchain</b> list.</p>
<br>
<p>A toolchain is a set of tools (such as a compiler, linker, and assembler) intended to build your project.
Additional tools, such as a debugger, can be associated with a toolchain.
There can be several toolchains available, depending on the compilers installed on your system.</p>
<br>
<li><p>Click <b>Next</b>.</p>
<br>
<p>The Select Configurations window displays a list of configurations based on the project type and toolchain(s) you selected earlier.

<br>
<li><p>Optional: If you want to change the default project settings, click <b>Advanced Settings</b>.</p>
<br>
<p>This opens the project properties dialog for your new project allowing you change any of the project specific settings,
such as includes paths, compiler options, and libraries.</p>

<br>
<li>If you clicked <b>Next</b> at Step 6, you can specify the basic properties for the new project, such as your name, copyright, and source information.</p>

<br>
<li><p>Click <b>Finish</b>.</p>
<br>
<li><p>If the <b>C++ perspective</b> is not currently set as the default, you are prompted to determined if you would like to this project to be associated with the C/C++ perspective. Click <b>Yes</b>.
<br><p><ahref="javascript:void(0)"onClick="newWin('../images/cdt_w_cpp_perspectx.png')">Click here to see an illustration.</a></p>
<br>
<p>A project is created with the default settings and a full set of configurations based on the project type and toolchain you selected.
You should now see the new project in C/C++ Projects view.</p>
<li>From the Project Explorer in the C++ Projects View, double-click the .cpp file that was created for your project, for example, <tt>Hello World.cpp</tt>.
<p>This file opens in a default editor. It contains C++ template code for the Hello World example project you selected earlier.</p>
<br>
<p><b>Note:</b> You can specify a different editor, and add or modify existing code templates in <b>Window > Preferences</b>.</p><p>In addition, the <b>Outline</b> view has also been populated
with objects created from your code.</p><p><ahref="javascript:void(0)"onClick="newWin('../images/cdt_w_basic13.png')">Click here to see an illustration.</a></p>
</li>
<li>Optional: You can type additional code in this file, and then save the changes by clicking <span
style="font-weight: bold;">File > Save</span>, or pressing <b>CTRL+S</b>.
<p><br>Next, you will need to build your project before you can run it.</p><br></li>
<li>Build your project by pressing <b>CTRL+B</b>, or select the project from the Project Explorer tab in the C++ Projects view and select <b>File > Build Project</b>.</p>
<p><br><b>Note:</b> If a build generates any errors or warnings, you can see those in the Problems view. If you encounter difficulty, see the topics <ahref="../concepts/cdt_c_build_over.htm">Building C/C++ projects</a> and <ahref="../concepts/cdt_c_before_you_begin.htm">Before you begin</a><br>.</p></li>
<li>Read through the build messages in the <b>Console</b> view.
