Initializing a PWE

The goal of this step is create the SSWE project directory structure in your PWE. SNiFF+ does this for you when you open the shared project in your PWE for the first time.

Open the root project in your team's PWE. Then, complete the remaining steps in the Project Editor.
(To open the root project, please refer to Opening the root project in a working environment.)
SNiFF+ informs you that it cannot find the directories of the shared project in the PWE root directory (they haven't been created yet). You will now have SNiFF+ copy the SSWE project directory structure into the PWE.
Enable Repeat and press Create Directory. This will save you from having to press Create Directory for each new project directory.
SNiFF+ will now incrementally create the project directories. When done, the PWE root directory contains the same project directory structure as the SSWE.
SNiFF+ also creates a Project Makefile in each project directory. On Unix, the Project Makefile will be a symbolic link to the corresponding Project Makefile in the SSWE. On Windows NT/95, a local copy is made instead.
When the generation process is over, SNiFF+ automatically opens the project in the PWE.
Close the shared project in the PWE.
Your PWE is now initialized for the project.

Opening the root project in a working environment

Open the Working Environments tool.
In the WorkingEnvs Tree, double-click on the working environment in which you want to open the root project. For multi-platform development, double-click on the SOWE for the target platform.
The Open Project dialog appears.
If the Project List is initially empty, press the Update List button to display all the projects that can be opened in the SOWE.
A dialog appears asking you whether SNiFF+ should also look in any accessed working environments for projects that can be opened.
Press Yes.
Double-click on your shared project to open it.
