           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?
