Eclipse CDT "step into" doesn't work

Question

I set up a breakpoint, and when I run the program in debug mode, and click "step into" when it reaches that breakpoint, it doesn't step into it.

Why?

EDIT: I'm compiling with these flags:

-Wall -pedantic -pedantic-errors -Wunused -Wunreachable-code -g -ggdb

EDIT 2: When I turn on the instruction stepping mode and immediately afterwards step into the function that I marked with a breakpoint, and then repeatedly call "step into", I get this:

No source available for "Indexer::index() at 0x8054de6"

Care to elaborate a bit? Are you compiling it with debugging symbols, optimization, etc? — i Code 4 Food, May 28 '13 at 15:48
@l19 "It works for me" is an appropriate answer for this question as you have given us so little to go on. It could be that you are throwing an exception at the point you are about to step into he function. Are you able to step over? — Dennis, May 28 '13 at 16:28
@Dennis, yes. Please let me know what information you need to help me. Thanks! — Maria Ines Parnisari, May 28 '13 at 16:32

Your debugger cannot find the source for the code you are debugging. You should be able to debug it as assembler though. In order to fix the problem I would suggest that you find the source code for Indexer and make sure that your code paths are correctly set.

What do you mean by "make sure that your code paths are correctly set"? – Maria Ines Parnisari May 29 '13 at 16:32

I fixed it, there was a problem with my makefile...

I was missing this:

%.o: %.cpp %.h
    $(CC) -c $(CFLAGS) $<

You should let people know how you did it in case they are looking at a similar issue. – Dennis May 30 '13 at 13:59
@I19 : Hi, I am encountering the same problem. Could you explain your solution so that I could learn and apply to my code? Thanks so much. – user2751691 Feb 18 '15 at 18:33
