Re: [CEDET-devel] Help With Getting Started

[Jake C. <co...@pp...>]

I have added 

(ede-cpp-root-project "PP_377" :file "/builds/mu/PM_377/SRC/rules.mk")

To my .emacs and this appears to have moved me forward.

Some questions:

1) I work with multiple projects.  I guess I need a line similar to the
   above for each one.  But will I incur alot of verheard if I open a
   new XEmacs session with all of these settings but I work with a
   project for which I do not want to use CEDET?

2) Do I need to tell ede-project the location of all my includes even if
   I have used Global to tag everything?

3) I have many lib subdirs, each of which has its own set of includes.
   So my compiler uses many -I directives to tell it where to find
   includes.  Does CEDET have a problem with needing to look into many
   subdirs?  Do I have to tell it each location or can it look
   recursively?

4) I've tried playing with smart completion but cannot get it to work.
   If I put my cursor on a variable 'x', the modeline display
   'cTagFilter* f'.  So it knows the type of 'f'.  So if I type 'f->',
   I'd like to see what methods I can call.  I tried the various entries
   under the Senator/Analyze menu but none of them worked.  What did I
   miss?

Thanks.
