Hi Victor,

Now you know how to contact me by email (or fill a bug).

You are the first person I'm aware of who compiled it for Mac, I'd like
to know what you've done to make it happen as I can't test it myself and
have very few time to bother people with that (btw my email is in the
pluginspec file). A diff or a simple listing of the modifications you've
done would be great.

Are you trying to generate the tags in a header or a source file?
(hint: it's not supposed to work in a source file at the moment)
I'll try tomorrow to compile it with a recent Qt and creator from git
and see how it goes here. I should find where the problem lies quickly.

Unfortunately it's quite a quick hack that I've done in a hurry and
shared in the hope it would be useful to others and could be enhanced
this way but real life really doesn't make it easy to maintain it as
qtcreator development itself is on steroids.

Cheers
