Hi,
Installed fresh Coccinelle from Github and following install.txt for bash completion using 'make install-bash'. The bash completion didn't work because of placement of file: himanshu@himanshu-Vostro-3559:~/coccinelle$ ls -l /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/ total 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3213 Aug 5 16:40 spatch himanshu@himanshu-Vostro-3559:~/coccinelle$ ls -l /etc/bash_completion.d/ total 24 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6636 Nov 20 2017 apport_completion -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 439 May 31 23:20 git-prompt -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11144 Jul 17 23:43 grub So, I copied spatch from /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/ to /etc/bash_completion.d/ himanshu@himanshu-Vostro-3559:~/coccinelle$ ls -l /etc/bash_completion.d/ total 28 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6636 Nov 20 2017 apport_completion -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 439 May 31 23:20 git-prompt -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11144 Jul 17 23:43 grub -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3213 Aug 5 17:10 spatch And now it does work. Don't if it is a ugly hack but it works! So, install.txt says: " It will install the shell script 'scripts/spatch.bash_completion' in /etc/bash_completion.d/spatch" But it isn't true in my case, if it were then I wouldn't have to cp it manually. Maybe change that line to " .. in /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/spatch " Or if script is replaced to install at /etc/bash_completion.d/ then local users(non-root) wouldn't be able to use it !? So, better to edit text in install.txt and then it is clearly mentioned in the install.txt: " You can manually copy that file elsewhere if you have a different bash_completion directory." Another previous issue that hit up again: https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg04973.html ----------------------------------------------------------- cp: cannot stat '/usr/lib/ocaml/parmap/parmap.cmx': No such file or directory Makefile:644: recipe for target 'ocaml/parmap.cmi' failed make: [ocaml/parmap.cmi] Error 1 (ignored) rm parsing_cocci/lexer_cli.ml parsing_cocci/parser_cocci_menhir.ml.d tools/spgen/source/spgen_lexer.ml parsing_cocci/parser_cocci_menhir.mli.d parsing_cocci/lexer_script.ml parsing_cocci/lexer_cocci.ml parsing_c/lexer_c.ml ----------------------------------------------------------- Though it is a "warning" but it is really misleading. I knew already about this issue therefore I proceeded with any caution. But for other developers doing a fresh install, it would certainly save their time and effort.
