Hi @ruadoVn ,

I'm sorry, but I'm not a Linux user, so I'm not sure how to properly setup gtags on it. I've used Delphi for a long time, which is Windows based, but the setup on both OS are quite different.

But, I do have to learn how to use it (Linux), because I want to make the extension to support Codespaces (which is linux based). I just have to find some spare time for that. I've planned that a few months ago, but ended up prioritizing other projects, but I remember this comment (#61 (comment)) from another user with steps to setup gtags. Hope this could help you.

I'm planning to return to this Codespaces support issue next month. Hope the plans goes "as planned" this time 😬

Hope this helps

Hi @ruadoVn ,

I know it's been a long time, and you probably already made yourself the path to install / setup the extension on Linux, or gave up on in. Either way, just to let you know, I was able to run it on Linux (WSL in fact), following the install/setup of ctags/global/python instructions in this comment (#61 (comment)) in #61. Worth a try.

Specifically about gtags.conf file, here is the tip from the other user:

There is no default gtags.conf file on Linux so I copied mine from the Windows setup and put it at /etc/gtags.conf.

Hope this helps

Wow. It's been a long time since there. Thank you so much anyways. At that moment I was a small child preparing for a competition with Pascal and now I'm still very surprised when you reply to this Q&A. I moved to learn C++ and am willing to apply to a Canadian university next year.

That's great to hear, and good luck on your application. I only played with C++ at university, but it is indeed still one of the strongest language/tooling out there.

Good luck on your new journey!
