Code Composer not Searching library cpp files for text

Hello All,

I am new to using code composer and Eclipse. 

I have imported an existing project with its own Makefile which was compilable through command line to Code Composer.  In Code Composer I have setup the project to use the external Makefile (disabling auto-makefile generation).  I have also setup CCS to use the same compiler and make generator that I used in command line.


I am able to successfully compile in code composer using this configuration which is compiling using the makefile.  At this point I wanted to use the "search" features in the ide which would allow me to search through all project files for a specific text string, or use the "Open Declaration" feature allowing me to jump to the declaration of a function or variable. 


In order to have these two features function to search through all included header files (.hpp or .h files) I had to define all my library paths within project properties-> C/C++ General -> Paths and Symbols -> Includes tab.

The problem I am facing now is that these two features do not search through the library .cpp or .c files.  Does anyone know why Code Composer would do this?  How do I setup the code composer Project to be able to search through the library of .c and .cpp files used by my project?

  • BTW When I am searching for text in the project files I am using the Ctrl + H function.  C/C++ Search -> Scope Workspace.  I have also tried the File Search Tab.

    There are three types of projects you can have

    -C/C++ (managed make) project

    -CCS Project

    -Makefile Project

    Which one do you have?

  • Hello Ki-Soo, I have "Makefile Project" selected.
