Creating an Empty Project in LinuxLink Classic

Use the build wizard to create an empty project, which you can then customize.

Starting the Wizard

1. Log in to LinuxLink and select the Builder button.
   
2. Select the project group in which you want to create the project, then choose Add New Project from the right-hand side of the page.
   
   
   
3. Select A new, empty project - I will add build files later, then click on Continue.
   

Specifying Project Information

On the first page of the wizard, you will be asked to specify some information about the project itself.

Name
In the Name field, provide a human-readable, descriptive name for the project. This name will appear in the LinuxLink UI, so enter an easy-to-read and understandable name.

SafeName
Enter a SafeName – a case-sensitive string that is used as a unique identifier for the project. The first character must be a letter or number; the rest of the name should be a letter, number, dash, dot, or underscore.

The SafeName is used when the LinuxLink Builder needs to create a project-specific file name or directory as part of the build.

Description
Here you can provide a more detailed human-readable description of the project. Feel free to enter whatever text you feel is an appropriate description of your project.

Build INI
Enter the URL of the build.ini file you want to use. This is the primary file referenced by the build system, and identifies the source files used as part of the build and the location of the script that drives the build process.

Activate the Project
Once you activate the project, you can run a build, and it will appear in the list of projects for your project group. If you do not activate it, the Build button does not appear in the project details. Other project types are activated automatically.

Click on Add Project to create your new project. A page appears allowing you to start a build.
