ctags/codeBrowser in OS X
Submitted by trice on Thursday, 28 December, 2006 - 14:50
Hello,

I have a problem with using the codeBrowser (for PHP-scripts) in OS X - it basically doesn't show anything.
I'm not a developer and just found jEdit - maybe someone could give me a hint what to do? - Would be really great...

My configuration:
OS X 10.3.9
jEdit 4.2 final
CodeBrowser 1.3.1
cTags 5.6
(Jump! 0.3.3)

And here's what I've done so far:
I installed the CodeBrowser and downloaded the exuberant ctags and put it at first into
/usr/bin/ctags and later into
/usr/local/bin/ctags, since it didn't work the first time
Then I downloaded the xCode from Apple, since I got the error-message, that I don't have any C-compiler installed, while I was trying to installed the ctags.
After this, I was able to compile the ctags - but still no function-tree or something similiar.
When I use the Path: /usr/local/bin/ctags/configure - I get a positiv testresult within the configurations of Jump! (does that make sense?), but nothing changes within the codebrowser itself.

I hope I don't seem to stupid, but I just discovere jEdit and I'm really satisfied so far, but I'd like to use a code assistent and a function-tree (like for AC in Flash?), that would make my work much more easier.
Thanks in advance,
.Florian

I had a similar problem, here's what I did.

1. Install XCode including the gcc4.0 compiler and the Mac OS X SDK

2. Install darwinports. Instructions here: http://darwinports.com/

3. Install ctags. Instructions here: http://ctags.darwinports.com/

4. Go to Plugins > Plugin Options > Code Browser and set the path to ctags to /opt/local/bin/ctags

This was on an Macbook running 10.4.8 FWIW.
Configure CodeBrowser

You need to put the entire path to the ctags executable (which is normally named 'ctags') in the CodeBrowser plugin options. 'configure' is usually the name of a configuration tool that creates the Makefiles necessary to build the application. It is not the application itself.
Hope this helped.
