Bug#1017826: arduino-core-avr: tools.ctags.pattern is missing in platform.txt

[Jonas Bechtel]

Package: arduino-core-avr
Version: 1.8.3+dfsg1-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: po...@jbechtel.de


Dear maintainers

I tried to compile my arduino program with arduino-builder command line program. Unfortunately I got the error "ctags pattern is missing". I fixed this by adding

tools.ctags.pattern=/usr/bin/arduino-ctags -u --language-force=c++ -f - --c++-kinds=svpf --fields=KSTtzns --line-directives "{source_file}"

to /usr/share/arduino/hardware/arduino/avr/platform.txt

I have no idea on how the weired arduino build system is supposed to work and will move away from arduino-builder but anyway wanted to share this. Maybe you can use it. (Remark: this would probably imply a dependency from arduino-core-avr to arduino-ctags)

Best regards
Jonas

P. S.: BTW first I missed to install arduino-core-avr as I was not sure whether arduino-core was
sufficient - it actually was not.
