Generating Project Files

Project files are not included so you will need to generate the project files for your operating system and development environment using the OF ProjectGenerator which is included with the openFrameworks distribution.

To (re)generate project files for an existing project:

1. Click the "Import" button in the ProjectGenerator
2. Navigate to the project's parent folder ie. "apps/QDTracker", select the base folder for the example project ie. "HeadOSC", and click the Open button
3. Click the "Update" button

If everything went Ok, you should now be able to open the generated project and build/run the example.
