Newly added C++ files ignored in project

[richwooley]

I'm using CodeWarrior 10.3 (on Windows) for a kinetis processor on the FreeScale cube.  I started with a simple C project that would exercise the color LCD and touchscreen interface.  Everything compiles and works just fine.

Today, I added some third-party C++ source to the project.  I did this my simply copying a hierarchy of folders into the project's "Sources" folder.  After refreshing the project, all of the new folders, and the c++ source contained within them appears in the project.  Each new c++ file has a green checkmark to the right of it, and I can expand each source file to see the definitions and object methods provided within each file.  That was easy!

The problem comes when I try to do a clean rebuild of the project.  Everything compiles and I receive no errors, but the new files are not compiled and I see no object or listing files for them in the FLASH output directory.  In the project options, under C/C++ General->Paths and Symbols->Includes, I've added all the relevant folders containing source files.  Similarly, I also modified the C/C++ Build->Settings->Arm Ltd Windows GCC C Compiler->Directories to include paths where ANY header file might live, but the source still doesn't get built.

I'm very new to CodeWarrior and I suspect there is a simple solution somewhere in the project settings, but I'm clueless at this point.  Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Rich

Hello,

unfortunately, with the ARM Inc. gcc plugin you cannot easily transform a C project into a C++ project. Beside of many details, the project needs to be set-up to use the C++ 'nature'.

See Processor Expert, gcc C++ and Kinetis-L with MQXLite for the details what I mean.

I recommend that that you create a new C++ project with the wizard and move over your files, this will be the easiest option.

I hope this helps.
