New Nios II C/C++ Library (New Project Wizard)

You open this wizard page by expanding Altera Nios II in the New Project wizard,

clicking Nios II C/C++ Library Project, and then clicking Next.

The Nios II C/C++ Library Project page of the New Project wizard allows you to create a

new Nios II C/C++ library project for developing C/C++ libraries. Nios II C/C++ library

projects typically contain independent utility functions, and do not have dependencies on a

Nios II system library project. You can reference Nios II C/C++ library projects from Nios II

C/C++ application projects or from other Nios II C/C++ library projects.

The Nios II C/C++ Library Project page contains the following controls.

Name—Specifies a valid project name for the new project.

Specify Location—When off, the IDE creates the new project directory in the Nios II

IDE workspace folder, unless you have previously set another custom default location

on the New Projects

preference page. Turning on Specify Location allows you to

specify an alternative project location in the Location box.

Note: Project directories cannot be nested. You cannot create a new project

inside the directory of an existing project.

Location—Specifies the base directory where the new project contents will reside.
