This is one of things where I am not sure, long standing bug? Me missing something obvious? Something in my setup breaking it?


So I kinda restarted developing for MorphOS this summer by redoing PastePass and all is nice FlowStudio will color in my defines (MUI attributes, methods and other) and I can jump to it's definition from the context-menu.

This does seem to hinge on the ####RELEASE.d files as other projects lacking these don't show these.
There is a menu item to re-index the project which seems to do nothing at all (Snoopium says something bout ctags being called).

I thought it was a new bug since it must have worked in the past but even going back to an 3.16 install on my Pegasos2 yielded no success.

Adding a new constant to an existing file (in a working project) will make visible project-wise, but I seem to be unable to add a new sourcefile and have it play along.

What am I missing? What did I do different to make it works back in the day?

A new file will be indexed the first time you build it.

That does indeed work for the already working project but not for the problematic one.

Going a bit deeper I changed from "gcc" to "gcc-9" and I suddenly got my colors.
Typing "gcc --version" in shell does give back 9.4.0.


Not sure if that is the intended behavior of the "gcc" alias.

Yes, it is very complex, because the Turbo C++ from Borland was more easy open the c file and run, without to have to index files, etc. even the Hollywood IDE on Windows has the same philosophy.

It‘s been a while but I‘m pretty sure Turbo C didn‘t even offer coloring names an jumping to their definition in another file.

Dont know where is the difficult in create a project and add files to it.

It's only difficult if you got a rather old project that for some reason triggers gcc2.95 without telling you.....

-> it's all fixed now.

it's because of how comfortable it was Turbo C++ from Borland or Hollywood IDE on Windows, load the proyect and run it, instead to add other files to compile and run like with FlowStudio or Visual Studio for example.
