CEDET: Collection of Emacs Development Environment Tools

CEDET is a top-level project containing several individual packages for Emacs,
including:

   EIEIO -    CLOS layer for Emacs Lisp
   Semantic - Parser Infrastructure for Emacs
   EDE -      File manager/ Makefile generator
   SRecode -  Template manager/ code generator
   COGRE -    Connected Graph Editor

REQUIREMENTS:

   The full CEDET suite requires Emacs 24.1 or newer.

   Compilation of CEDET currently requires GNU Make.

INSTALL:

- Byte Compilation

  Byte compilation is done by entering the top directory and calling

    make

  If you want to byte-compile with a specific Emacs version, use

    make EMACS=<Emacs binary>

  CEDET is designed to be used 'in-place', so you do *not* have to
  call 'make install' afterwards.

- Documentation

  By default, info files containing the CEDET documentation will be
  generated through the above 'make' call and put into

    <CEDET-TOPDIR>/doc/info

  where they will be automatically made known to Emacs when CEDET is
  loaded (so usually, you can stop reading here).  Like the EMACS
  variable above, you can specify binaries for makeinfo and
  install-info, as well as the location for the generated info files,
  by using the 'MAKEINFO', 'INSTALL-INFO' and 'INFODIR' variables,
  respectively.  Note that if you use another INFODIR than the
  default, you have to make sure that they are found by Emacs
  yourself.  Additionally, if writing into your custom INFODIR
  requires special permissions, you'll have to call

    make install-info

  manually as root or via sudo.

- Install CEDET into your Emacs init files (.emacs):

  To enable the CEDET development version in Emacs you need to
  override the CEDET that comes with Emacs.  To do that, load the
  cedet-devel-load.el file that is next to this INSTALL file.

  You should place the `cedet-devel-load.el' command near the
  beginning of your init file, otherwise parts of CEDET like EIEIO
  might already be loaded from core Emacs. For more details on other
  configuration options topic, see the info file common/cedet.info.

  This code snippet can be copied into your .emacs file to enable the
  development version of cedet, and turn on all the features.'

-----------
;; Load CEDET.
;; See cedet/common/cedet.info for configuration details.
;; IMPORTANT: Tou must place this *before* any CEDET component (including
;; EIEIO) gets activated by another package (Gnus, auth-source, ...).
(load-file "/home/user/cedet/cedet-devel-load.el")

;; Add further minor-modes to be enabled by semantic-mode.
;; See doc-string of `semantic-default-submodes' for other things
;; you can use here.
(add-to-list 'semantic-default-submodes 'global-semantic-idle-summary-mode t)
(add-to-list 'semantic-default-submodes 'global-semantic-idle-completions-mode t)
(add-to-list 'semantic-default-submodes 'global-cedet-m3-minor-mode t)

;; Enable Semantic
(semantic-mode 1)

;; Enable EDE (Project Management) features
(global-ede-mode 1)

- Build Issues

  If running MAKE fails due to other issues such as bad loaddef files,
  custom-autoload or incomprehensible run time errors during a byte
  compilation, do a

    make clean-all

  and try again. If you're running the development version from git,
  you can also do

    git reset --hard
    git clean -f

  to get a clean slate of all files (deleting all new files you've
  created and all changes you've made, of course).

  If you're getting error messages about Makefiles that have to be
  regenerated, or maybe this regeneration is triggered automatically
  and it fails, you can always enforce the current Makefiles by
  updating their timestamps through

    make touch-makefiles

- For Package Maintainers: Unpack CEDET sources

  Do not put the copy of CEDET's standalone sources under Emacs' lisp
  directory.  If you do, Emacs will attempt to add too much into the
  load-path, and this will not work.

  When installing CEDET standalone sources over an existing Emacs, put the
  sources outside of Emacs' regular load path.  Use the install
  instructions above for initializing CEDET use in Emacs.

- Install CEDET CONTRIB files into your emacs init files (.emacs)

  When you install CEDET standalone, you have the option of also
  installing CEDET's "contrib" files.  These are additional programs
  that work with CEDET for which Authors were unable to provide
  copyright to the FSF for inclusion into Emacs.  They are kept
  separately, and must be compiled and installed separately.  First
  you have to compile them by entering the 'contrib' directory and
  simply call 'make'.  You can then load them in your init file by
  doing

-----------
;; Load CEDET CONTRIB.
(load-file "/home/user/cedet/cedet-contrib-load.el")
