Create a Project

Once you have the source files, you add them to a new project file that you create for Generic. When you create a project you give the components of the Graphical Development Environment information about your program.

A project coordinates the build process. It:

Tells the language compiler which files to compile

Tells the linker which object files and libraries to combine into an executable file

Tells the Resource Compiler which resource files to compile and bind to the executable file

The Project menu in the Graphical Development Environment controls project files. To make a new project list for Generic:

1.From the Project menu, choose Open.

2.Locate GENERIC.MAK, which has a default location of \qcwin\source.

3.Choose OK.

The Graphical Development Environment automatically saves the project file when you choose the OK button.

The project is now complete, and the application is ready for building.
