Vim Autocomplete for Linux

First of all download the following file: omnicppcomplete-0.41.zip

1) Create a directory in your home directory called .vim

cd ~

mkdir .vim

2) Copy the downloaded file inside the .vim directory and unzip it

cd .vim

unzip omnicppcomplete-0.41.zip

Now inside our .vim directory we should have the following directories:

after

autoload

doc

4) Inside the .vim directory create a new directory called tags

mkdir tags

5) Enter inside our tags directory and run the following command:

cd tags

ctags -R --sort=yes --c++-kinds=+p --fields=+iaS --extra=+q --language-force=C++ -f gl /usr/include/GL/

this will create a tag file named "gl" of the directory /user/include/GL/

Repeat this step for any include directory you want by changing the name of the tag file and the path

of the directory.

6) Edit our .vimrc file as follows:

set tags+=~/.vim/tags/gl

7) If you want to build tags of your own project (by pressing Ctrl-F12) add as follows to our .vimrc:

map  :!ctags -R --sort=yes --c++-kinds=+p --fields=+iaS --extra=+q .

That's it!
