Compdb documentation #11

Closed innerout closed 6 years ago

innerout commented 6 years ago

Could you update the documentation of the project? I installed compdb with pip giving different options to pass but i do not know how to use them. Is it only the -p parameter that should interest the users?

Sarcasm commented 6 years ago

Maybe it's the pypi release which is not up-to-date, I should probably make a new release.

If you use the version from Github master, does it work ok? The README should be up to date, and the compdb help should be too.

pip install --user git+https://github.com/Sarcasm/compdb.git#egg=compdb

I will try it and reply soon.Also there were complaints about the documentation and in some issues from the LSP project.One of the issues was this one https://github.com/tomv564/LSP/issues/2 .

Sorry for the late answer! I downloaded the compdb the pip way you suggested and everything worked fine thanks. Lastly before the issue is closed, i had to cd in ~/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/compdb/ and run python __main__.py -p path/to/compile_commands.json list > compile_commands.json Is there a way to execute compdb from anywhere?

You should make sure ~/.local/bin is in your PATH,

innerout commented 6 years ago

OK i did not know that,its the first time i am using that path.

Before closing this issue the ~/.local/bin path was on my virtual machine installation, when i installed it on my laptop compdb installed in /usr/bin.
