Description Jon Smirl 2004-05-31 04:51:30 UTC 
Version:           CVS (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

The error display window is not including the lines showing where the h file was included from. These are important to locating the error.


In file included from ../dri_client/imports/glxclient.h:52,
                 from ../common/dri_util.h:57,
                 from ../common/utils.h:33,

Jon, are you sure to use "Short compiler output" ( and not "Very short compiler output" ) - See Context Menu of "Messages" Tab.

Works for me in Full and Short mode. "Very short" (as the name would imply) keeps those messages away.
Comment 2 Jon Smirl 2004-06-09 04:48:48 UTC 
I've been using kdevelop for a year and never knew there was a context menu in the 
output views. I see now that a couple of views have them. Since I never knew these menus were there I've been running with the defaults. Maybe the default should be changed to Short from Very Short.

I also recommend figuring out some way of giving a visual clue that those context menus exist.
Comment 3 Bernd Pol 2004-06-09 14:13:45 UTC 
There are clues.
1) There is a setting on the Configure KDevelop General Page
2) There is a note in the KDevelop User Manual, Chapter 6. Configuring KDevelop -> General Setup -> Messages Output View

BTW: I routinely right click into any unknown window I run across -- just in case there is a popup help window ;)
Comment 4 Jon Smirl 2004-06-09 17:07:08 UTC 
I may not be a good example of a normal user since a lot of these features have been slowly added as I used the product. It might be more useful to check with a new user.
Comment 5 Jon Smirl 2004-06-09 17:07:46 UTC 
Option was there all along
