According to the GNU Global documentation
# Installation of GLOBAL
# It assumed that ctags command is installed in '/usr/local/bin'.
$ ./configure --with-universal-ctags=/usr/local/bin/ctags
$ make
$ sudo make install
I need to install GNU Global with the flag --with-universal-ctags=/usr/local/bin/ctags for support for universal-ctags.
Normal installation of GNU Global is done using (according to this source)
# normal installation
brew install global
and since brew formulas are ruby scripts of the form (according to brew)
#Example with Wget
class Wget < Formula
homepage "https://www.gnu.org/software/wget/"
url "https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/wget-1.15.tar.gz"
sha256 "52126be8cf1bddd7536886e74c053ad7d0ed2aa89b4b630f76785bac21695fcd"
def install
system "./configure", "--prefix=#{prefix}"
system "make", "install"
end
end
should I just do
# It assumed that ctags command is installed in '/usr/local/bin'.
brew install global --with-universal-ctags=/usr/local/bin/ctags
to install global with universal-ctags support?
Note: The normal installation of global seems to have exuberant-ctags as a dependency
