How to make ycmd use the clang compilation database #26
Description
I'm having trouble getting ycmd to use my clang compilation database. I figure I must need to configure it somehow, but I don't know what needs to be done.
When I send a completion request I get this:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/sixtynorth/projects/ycmd/third_party/bottle/bottle.py", line 861, in _handle

raw_completions = self.ComputeCandidatesInner( request_data )

raise RuntimeError( NO_COMPILE_FLAGS_MESSAGE )
RuntimeError: Still no compile flags, no completions yet.
I've verified that the compilation database exists and works. Tools like 'clang-check' work on the same file, so it should all be in place.
So, do I need to do anything to explicitly ask ycmd to use the compilation database? Or am I perhaps doing something else incorrectly?
