Creating a New Project

Open Anjuta. Since we are going to create a new project and work on it, so go to File -> New Project. Consequently, the "GNOME Application Wizard" appears. Although it is a common practice that we tend to ignore whatever is written as long as there is a Next button, but it is advised that you go carefully through each and every message. So, after reading the message in the first step of the Wizard, proceed forward, i.e., press Nextbutton.

The step 2 is a crucial one. It gives you the option of creating the type of application you want. For our purposes, lets choose "Gnome Application" and proceed forward. Step 3 deals with the basic project information. You should carefully fill this step of the wizard. For this tutorial, enter the following information.

In the next step, i.e. Step 4, select the programming language as C. You can disable Gettext support if you don't want it. Ideally, you should assign an icon to this project so that it appears in the GNOME Application menu. You can select Hello World example as theEntry name, which will appear at the GNOME Application menu. Let the Group field remain at Applications. Finally click Next and Finish thereafter to create your project.

Since we are developing this as an example therefore you can relax, but while creating real-time applications, these steps can be real crucial and need to be filled in carefully.
