Version: 2.1.5 (using KDE 3.1.3) Installed from: compiled sources Compiler: gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.19 Indexing runs properly, but nothing is found when searching. After a bit of investigation, I found the following: index is created as follows (kdevelop/setup/ccreatedocdatabasedlg.cpp) void CCreateDocDatabaseDlg::slotOkClicked() ... *m_proc << "find "+ dirs +" -name '*.html' | glimpseindex " + size_str +" -F -X -H "+ locateLocal("appdata",""); m_proc->start(KShellProcess::NotifyOnExit,KShellProcess::AllOutput); ... index is read as follows (kdevelop/ckdevelop.cpp) void CKDevelop::slotHelpSearchText(QString text){ ... search_process << "glimpse"; search_process << "-H" << locateLocal("appdata", ""); search_process << "-U" << "-c" << "-y" << "'" + text +"'"; search_process.start(KShellProcess::NotifyOnExit,KShellProcess::AllOutput); ... As a newcomer to KDE, first I read the manuals. Then I tried using glimpse directly to search index using the above options. This also produced no output. Next tried 'glimpse -H . -X -c -y', which produced results. Manually rebuilt index, ommiting '-X' option from glimpseindex command. glimpse '-U' produced results, but not in useable format. After further reading and experimentation, it seems that the glimpse '-U' option, in ver 4.17.0 at least, no longer works when '-X' is used with glimpseindex. Also, even when '-X' is being used with glimpse: Search String: 'QFTP' Title Hits An FTP client 0 QNetworkProtocol Class 0 Annotated Class Index 0 QFtp Class 0 Input/Output and Networking 0 ... Not sure what to do about this... Best regards, George
Sorry, KDevelop 2.x is no longer under development. You are strongly advised to update to the latest CVS version of KDevelop3, code name gideon, take a look at: http://www.kdevelop.org/index.html?filename=branches_compiling.html for all the details you need. If you find a problem or need help please send a mail to the mailing list: http://www.kdevelop.org/index.html?filename=mailinglist.html or drop us a line at the channel #kdevelop on the server irc.kde.org using ksirc, for example. Please use the CVS version and compile it yourself because that way you can easily patch it if a bug is found. KDevelop3 can open Develop2 projects. To do so, goto the "Project -> Open Project ... " and select "KDevelop 2 Project Files" in the "Filter:". You can have and run KDevelop3 and KDevelop2 at the same time on the same computer without any problems. So migrating is a breeze. :) P.S. : The KDevelop team closed over 337 reported and confirmed bugs since the release of the last KDevelop2.x
Gideon doesn't support glimpse, only htdig. Closing.
