6. Select the Connect button to verify the connection.
NOTE: A password prompt appears before the connection completes.
7. Select OK to save the connection configuration and close the Preferences dialog.
NOTE: NSDEE provides the Connect button to test new connection configurations. However,
the Configure Connections dialog and the Connect button are not necessary to establish
connections because NSDEE automatically establishes connections as needed.
8. To specify multiple connection configurations, open the Network Connections preferences and
select Add/Remove.... For details, see
“Configuring connections to NonStop” (page 68) .
Creating projects
Projects provide a way for you to organize and build applications in NSDEE. Before creating a
project, know which type of project best suits your needs: a makefile (unmanaged) project or a
managed project.
The makefile project is the simplest type of project provided by NSDEE. Makefile projects build
your application using a makefile provided by you. Makefile projects are ideal for use with an
existing code base that builds using existing makefiles. NSDEE supports makefile projects for both
local Windows-hosted builds and for remote builds on a NonStop server.
If you are creating a new application or have an application for which you do not have a makefile,
then you can use a project for which NSDEE creates makefiles and manages your builds. Managed
projects are available only for local Windows-hosted builds.
This section provides examples of how to create makefile and managed projects from scratch or
using an existing code base. This section also provides an example of how to create multiple
managed projects to build a single application.
NOTE: For the most detailed descriptions of project wizards, read the sections about creating
projects from scratch. Other sections regarding project creation focus on short descriptions of how
to create projects.
Creating a managed project from scratch
Before creating a managed project, determine the primary language for the project. The primary
language determines the linker used to create the final build object. Also determine whether the
final build object will be an executable or some type of library.
Project creation is similar for all managed projects regardless of language. This section provides
an example of creating a C executable project.
To create a C project, from the NonStop Development perspective:
1. Open the NonStop C Project wizard using one of the following methods:
•
Select File
→New→C Project.
•
Select C Project from the pull-down menu of the New NonStop Project icon in the main
tool bar.
•
Select New
→C Project from the context menu of the NonStop Project Explorer view.
2. In the resulting NonStop C Project wizard:
