New Remote C/C++ Project Wizard - Page 1


Name Function
Project Name The name of the project. There must not already be a project with the chosen name.
Use Default Location This must be unchecked. The default location is the local file system which is not suitable for remote projects.
Choose file system Lists available remote file system providers that allow the project contents to reside on a remote machine. Each item is an EFS provider.
Location The URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) of the project root folder.
Project Type Specifies a project type from the list provided. It is highly recommended that for remote projects the Remote Makefile Project type be selected, otherwise remote builds will not work.
Toolchain Specifies toolchains available for selected project type. A toolchain is a set of tools (such as a compiler, linker, and assembler) intended to build your project.
Show project types and toolchains only if they are supported on the platform This should be unchecked. Filters the list of toolchains to just toolchains that are available on the local machine. This should be unchecked because it may hide toolchains that are available on the remote machine.
