Use of ctags

[mulderp]

Hi!

I saw your note in sudar/Arduino-Makefile#59 - and tried the preprocessor with Ruby.

For a quick check, I wanted to use the MacOS X default ctags, and run:

ruby preprocessor.rb blinkLED leornado-blink

However, the script fails here:

# Is project folder an Arduino project?
projectName = 'standarfirmata' # projectFolder.split("/").last

# if Dir["#{File.expand_path("#{projectFolder}#{projectName}#{arduinoExtensions}")}"].length() == 0 then
#   abort "Project folder doesn't look like an Arduino project folder"
# end

So, I commented it out. But the command did not yet work.

So, I just tried ctags with the argument list, but it gives:

ctags --language-force=c++ --c++-kinds=pf --fields=KSTtzn project/standard_firmata.ino
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/ctags: illegal option -- -

There is a patched version of ctags in /bin/ which is used by the preprocessor.

The Arduino project should have, in your case, at least this structure: blinkLED/blinkLED.ino (partent folder with the same name as the main .ino file)
By commenting this part you skipped this test.
Is the project blinkLED in this regard a "valid" Arduino project?
What's not working after you commented it out?
