Creating a Makefile project with existing code

The working directory of the make utility should be the root folder of the project.

To create a C/C++ Makefile project:

  1. Select File > New > Project > C/C++ > Makefile Project with Existing Code, then click Next.
  2. In the Project name field, type a name for your project.
    Note: Although the wizard allows it, don't use spaces or any of the following characters in your project name:

    | ! $ ( " ) & ` : ; \ ' * ? [ ] # ~ = % < > { }

    These characters cause problems later with compiling and building, because the underlying tools such as make and qcc don't like them.
  3. In the Toolchain list, select QNX QCC.
  4. Click Finish.
