Opening the shared project in the PWE

First, you need to tell SNiFF+ that you intend to work in the PWE. You do this in the Working Environments tool.

- In the Launch Pad, choose Tools > Working Environments.

In the Working Environments Tool

To open a project in the PWE, double-click on the PWE entry in the Working Environments Tree. If you used the same names as we did, the full designation of the PWE is:
Username

PWE:Pico PWE
In the Open Project dialog that appears, press the Update List button to display all the projects that can be opened in the PWE.
In the dialog that appears, press Yes to confirm that shared workspace information should also be used.
To open the root project and all its subprojects, double-click on pico.shared .
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.
Select the Repeat check box and then press Create Directory.
Selecting Repeat saves you from having to press Create Directory for each new project directory.
When SNiFF+ has finished initializing your PWE, the project is automatically opened in it and displayed in the Project Editor.
Close the Working Environments tool.
In the Project Editor
Makefiles should be updated whenever structural changes are made to the projects, or when projects are first opened in a new working environment.

Make sure that all the projects in the Project Tree are checkmarked. If they are not, right- click anywhere in the Project Tree and choose Context menu > Select from All Projects.
Choose Target > Update Makefiles....
A dialog appears asking you whether dependencies information should also be updated.
Press Yes.
Generally, your Working Environments Administrator is responsible for setting up SNiFF+'s Make Support. Therefore, you don't need to see project Makefiles in your day-to-day work. Also, SNiFF+'s Makefiles are generated and maintained by SNiFF+, so there's no reason to version control them.

Press the Filters... button.
The Filters dialog appears. You will now filter out SNiFF+'s Makefiles from the Project Editor's File List.
In the FileTypes tab, clear the Make check box and press Ok.
