Thanks for your response.
Are there updated openbmc build instructions that the new developer
should follow, posted elsewhere ?

Here is the C-scope errors paste, 
I sent to someone else here but,  you are right,
it is unclear whether someone who may post here pervasively
is more of an administrative person (e.g. git project manager) ,
and may not be familiar with the issue raised.

===================================================================
===================================================================
Cscope 15.8a   generated a lot of errors -- maybe Vim  7.4.52   
is not compatible with Ubuntu 14.04.6 .
Any ideas ?

OpenBMC is cross-compiled to target the embedded chip that it will run
on (often an Aspeed or Nuvoton part). I really doubt anybody is doing
their coding on an AST2400 :) Those stale-Ubuntu-targeted instructions
might still work, and if they don't, please let us know which
libraries are missing.

I use a Debian derivative and Vim. However, it's worth noting that
openbmc/openbmc references a bunch of other Git repos. Bitbake will
pull these down and build for you, but if you want to edit anything,
you'll need to either check them out on your own or use devtool.

Can you paste the errors you're seeing with C-Scope? (I don't use it,
but the text of the error might help us suss out what's going wrong.)

By the way, even for questions like this, it's better to mail the
entire list than choose one person at random to ask in a direct email.
Later developers may have the same question and your email will help
answer it for them. :)

Welcome to the project!
