alternative to opengrok

Question

I am using for an alternative to OpenGrok. I can't configure it properly. What I want is to browse to the code, like I would be in Visual Studio. I'd like to have a menu with a minimum option of Go To Definition, find references etc. How can that be achieved ?

Answer 1

I suggest to have a look at the Woboq Code Browser.

It works like a compile step and dynamically analyzes the code and how symbols are linked to each other.

Answer 2

Did you have problems configuring it on Windows?

OpenGrok works best through a web-server. You might find it easier to rent some cheap VPS box, and configure OpenGrok remotely on such server (instead of trying to configure it locally on a Windows box), and then use your web-browser to access the remotely-running OpenGrok instance through the web-interface.

I've once tried using OpenGrok locally on a Windows machine, and even though it worked, I was not happy that the non-web version didn't have any syntax highlighting, and was overall just way too awkward to be of any real use.
