Properties Dialog Box
You open this dialog box by right-clicking a project in the Nios II C/C++ Projects view, and
clicking Properties.
This dialog box lets you adjust properties settings for your project. The Properties dialog box
groups similar settings together on pages, and the pages that appear depend on the project
type. The following table describes which properties pages are available for each project type.
Links to Nios II IDE specific topics appear in the table. Click a hyperlink under Properties
Page for more information on a specific page. Properties pages without a hyperlink are native
to the C/C++ Development Toolkit (CDT). Refer to the Related Topics
for more information.
