Does anyone know if this -p make-tags option still works?
I tried this but it does not produce a tag file. SlickEdit opens and then closes. No tag file produced.
-p is an invocation option - see invocation options in the help.
make-tags is a batch macro - see make_tags.e in the slick macros folder.
If I type make_tags on the slick command line I get a dialog window telling me what options I should have supplied to make_tags.
If I run
vs.exe +new -p make_tags
slick opens a new instance, shows me the dialog about what options to supply, then closes.
Some things you could try are
1. do what I did to see that make-tags is actually getting called
2. add a diagnostic line to the make_tags.e definit function
say(arg(1));
messageNwait(); // press a key to continue
to see that your command line parameters are getting passed in to maketags. (they are for me).
If I do this at DOS cmd line
L:\Apps\vslick-13-0-2\win>vs.exe +new -p make_tags E:\proj\cpp\tests\test1.cpp -
o c:\temp\output.vtg
I get an output.vtg file created in c:\temp. Not sure where it goes if you don't specify -o.
