How to perform a selective build in CodeComposer

Hi,

To exclude a .c/.cpp file from build (for headers you can't do this, but as if it's not included it's not used, there's no problem):

Right click on the file -> Resource Configurations -> Exclude from Build

Select all

Ok, many thanks.

I try to do this and this way exclude some file ".c" from my custom build.

But there is a problem: If my new code use some function that are write in the exclude file... They don't work and CCS give me error. 

It is correct that it give me error if the build perform a clean before or if it is necessary to rebuild all to link the realative function.

How can I undestand if, during a build, the CCS before perform a clean? And how can i change it?

I search a way to rebuild only some file and keep the compilated other file... So If i keep the compilated 20 file and do not rebuild them but I rebuild only 2 or 3 ".c" file it is all more faster.

Hi Massimiliano,

if you exclude a file from the build, but are trying to use a function/header file defined there, this will of course generate an error.  The linker will be looking for that function but you have excluded it!

CCS normally tries to only build/rebuild when necessary.  You have various options such as build all, rebuild clean etc from the project menu.

Please keep us informed whether these additional tips help.
