Build cscope.out files in a separate directory

I've source code of a huge project in one directory (/my/src/) and I want the cscope files to be built in some other directory (/my/db/). How can I do that ?

Solution

  • Try following steps:

    1 . Generate cscope.files

    find /my/src -name '*.c' -o -name '*.h' > /my/db/cscope.files

    2 . Run cscope on the generated result

    cscope -i /my/db/cscope.files

    3 . Export to environment variable

    CSCOPE_DB=/my/db/cscope.out; export CSCOPE_DB
