<li>Select the type of project to create. For this tutorial, expand the <strong>C++</strong> folder and select <strong>C++ Project</strong> and click <strong>Next</strong>.<br>
<br>By default, the CDT filters the <strong>Toolchain</strong> and <strong>Project types</strong> that it displays in those lists based on the language support for the C++ Project wizard you selected for this tutorial.</p>
<li>In the <strong>Project name</strong> field, type a name for the project, such as <strong>HelloWorld</strong>.
<p><br>
</p>
</li>
<li>From the <strong>Project type</strong> list, expand <strong>Executable</strong> and select <strong>Hello World C++ Project</strong>. This project type provides a simple Hello World application in C++, and the makefile is automatically created by the CDT.
<p><br>
</p>
</li>
<li>Select a required toolchain from the <strong>Toolchain</strong> list.
<p><br>
</p>
<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>
<li>Specify the <strong>Basic Properties</strong> for the new project, such as your author, copyright, and source information, then click <strong>Next</strong>.<br>
<strong>OPTIONAL</strong>: If you want to change the default project settings, click <strong>Advanced Setting</strong> to open the <ahref="../reference/cdt_u_prop_all.htm">Project Properties</a> dialog for your new project allowing you change any of the project specific settings,
such as includes paths, compiler options, and libraries.<br>
<p><strong>NOTE</strong> If the <strong>C++ perspective</strong> 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 <strong>Yes</strong>.<br>
</p>
<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 <ahref="../reference/cdt_u_project_explorer_view.htm">Project Explorer</a> view.</p>
<p> <imgsrc="../images/cdt_w_basic12.png"alt="New project displayed in the Project Explorer view"width="423"height="283"></p>
<li>From the <strong>Project Explorer</strong> view, double-click the .cpp file created for your project, for example, <spanclass="typewriter">HelloWorld.cpp</span>. You'll find it within the project "<spanclass="typewriter">src</span>" folder.<br>
<br>
<p>This file opens in a default editor. It contains C++ template code for the Hello World example project you selected earlier. In addition, the <ahref="../reference/cdt_u_outline_view.htm">Outline</a> view has also been populated
<strong>NOTE:</strong> You can specify a different editor, and add or modify existing code templates in <strong>Window > Preferences</strong>.<br>
<br>
<strong>OPTIONAL</strong>: 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 <strong>CTRL+S</strong>.<br>
<br>
Next, you will need to build your project before you can run it.<br>
<br>
</p>
</li>
<li>Build your project by pressing <strong>CTRL+B</strong>, or select the project in the <strong>Project Explorer</strong> view and select <strong>File > Build Project</strong>.
</p>
<p><br>
<strong>NOTE:</strong> If a build generates any errors or warnings, you can see those in the <ahref="../reference/cdt_u_problems_view.htm">Problems</a> 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 <ahref="../reference/cdt_u_console_view.htm">Console</a> view.
