Hello there fellows,
I am trying to integrate emacs with cscope. I have been using from quite some time but lately I have been facing issues with it.
Heres what I did so you know if I made any mistakes in creating the database.
Like, now I have created an 'inverted index' on the FreeBSD kernel source and I have integrated cscope with emacs.
The way I did the former task was that I first created a 'cscope.files' file in a directory like so:
Then I chdir'd to the directory containing the 'cscope.files' file and then ran
so it created three files cscope.out cscope.in.out cscope.po.out.
Now assuming everything is fine, I open emacs and then I search for the global definiton of say mbuff and it gives me a list of possible answers. Then when I run a search again 'in the same buffer' I get a message which reads that it cannot open cscope.out. Now this is really confusing me. I don't know why it cannot open that file a second time (or may be there is something else which I do not know of
)
Please do let me know if you need some more diagnostic information.

And some tips from here and there.
