           Summary: ctags support is mystifying
           Product: kdevelop
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: FreeBSD Ports
        OS/Version: FreeBSD
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdevelop-bugs kdevelop org
        ReportedBy: lonniev predictableresponse com


Version:           3.1.0 (using KDE KDE 3.3.0)
Installed from:    FreeBSD Ports
Compiler:          gcc 3.3.3 FreeBSD 
OS:                FreeBSD

Seems like there is general confusion on how to get ctags support in Kdevelop (including the latest 3.1 release.) I read through the various related bugs with high hopes for a fix but encountered only crushing disappointment.

I detected the presence of both the ctags and ctags2 plugins for the project and turned off the older "ctags" plugin. Nevertheless, the ctags window consistently says "no CTAGS database found" and the Regenerate button appears to do nothing. (Yes, a version of ctags is installed on the system - from a FreeBSD port; exuberant ctags to be precise.)

Right-clicks on symbol names offer a GoTo Definition... submenu but this is populated with every known symbol in the file (or facetiously so it seems).

Is there a definitive HOWTO for getting kdevelop and ctags to work together?
