ERROR: Unknown build system

I get the following error:

ERROR: Unknown build system

after running

~/.vim/bundle/YCM-Generator/config_gen.py --verbose --compiler clang-3.6 .

on

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS
Release:    14.04
Codename:   trusty

Please run ls in the project directory and post the output. Also, what build system does the project use?

[rmporsch]

fixed it. CMakeLists.txt was gone for some reason. Now the error is

ERROR: No commands were logged to the build logs (C: /tmp/tmpTqblcZ, C++: /tmp/tmpguQm45).
Your build system may not be compatible.

I assume this corresponds to issue #3, and I will need to downgrade my clang

Sorry for the stupid mistake.

[rdnetto]

No problem, I've made more than my share of stupid mistakes. :P

Make sure there's no Makefile in the directory, otherwise it'll override the settings for the fake toolchain.

Note also that the fix for #3 is not to downgrade clang, but to specify the actual name of the compiler using --compiler. (Alternatively, you could just create a symlink called clang to the actual executable.)

thanks a lot! Works now!
