| Starting a New C Project

Previous | The TIGCC Integrated Environment | Next

Click on 'File/New/Project'. If the project you had opened before has been modified, you are informed about it, and you have the choice to save your project first.
When you create a new project, it is best to save it first in order to give it a file name. Click on 'File/Save Project As...' and save your project. Note that the executable files (*.89z; *.9xz; *.v2z) are saved with the same name as your project file, even if it is a long file name. To specify the name your program gets when it is transferred to the calculator, click on the top item in the project tree twice in a row in order to rename it (optionally including a folder name). Of course, the same restrictions apply as to calculator variable names. For other options, look under 'Project/Options...', especially 'Program Options...' in the 'Compilation' tab.
After you did that, you need to create a new C file to start with. Click on 'File/New/C Source File'. A file template is displayed, where you can simply add your code at the position where it says:
`// Place your code here.`
Click on 'Help/Index' for a complete documentation of functions supported by the TIGCC Library, and you can start programming.
