tags does not work in linux codelite

Post by Halley »

Hi, all

It seems to me that tags does not work when using codelite in linux.

I follow the guide, create workspace,project, import folder. When I call "Goto Implemetation", it has no response.

However, codelites works fine with the same project codes in xp. When I call "Goto Implemation", it jumps to the right place.

Is there anything I should notice when using CL in linux?

Thanks!

I have 4 projects in the same workspace.

Only one of the project's tags works well. All the others do not work.

Any idea?

can u give an example of code that does not work? (obvisouly I am asking this since it is the exact same code on Linux and Win and it is working fine for me here)

Just a guess: does it fail to work on WX / STL methods? or your own methods?

I find a way to resolve this problem.

I create a new workspace and a new project to import the same source codes. This time, it works fine.

I remember that when I created workspace and project at the first time, CL popped up a message box to ask me about "external symbol database" (something like that), and I chose "Cancel". But this box showed up every time I started up CL. So I completed the wizard, just want to get rid of this pop-up when starting up. After that, I created new project in the same workspace and imported other folder. The new folder is tagged ( I can see the process bar showes up) and tags work correctly. But the project created before I completed the wizard, tags did not take effect, even after I removed the whole project and re-added it into the workspace( process bar not show up).

I have 2 questions here.
1. What is that message box? I do not know what it is used for. And I can't find any place in CL where I can set path for "external symbol database". It does not show up in XP.
I find out this, it is in the tags menu.

2. How to re-tag the project/workspace when I encounter the similar case? "delete workspace -> re-new workspace -> re-add project -> re-import fold" is the only way?
I find out this too. It is in the "Tags Settings", use full re-tagging.

Thought the tags is not so accurate, it is just OK.

BTW: do you have the CL icon image with size 48x48 or 32x32? I would like to have such an icon.

Thanks a lot!
