Can't generate cscope.out file

Question

I am using cscope on a project which locates in author/trunk/ . Under "author" directory cscope -R worked well and generated cscope.out. However when using same commmand on a subdirectory like author/trunk/../dhcp, no cscope .out was generated ,and had "no cscope connection" when I wanted to search in one file So what should I do now ,THanks

Answer 1

First, I recommend using cscope -bkqR instead of the simpler cscope -R .

Second, I think you need to start cscope in the same directory where cscope.out is located or you'll get the error you mentioned. At least, this is true for vim .
