cscope for DOS using DJGPP
*) You need a rather recent DJGPP version and tools
installed. For running cscope on DOS, be sure you
- have
-
- GNU ed for cscope's automated editing of files. It's quite likely you didn't have this installed, unless you're a collector of Unix tools.
- an editor or viewer to be used as a child program when you open a match, inside cscope. DJGPP-compiled versions, if possible.
Choose either
-- `less' if you're content with viewing the file
-- some version of `vi' (VIM, Elvis, or NVI) use cscope in it's
"classical" way
-- GNU Emacs for the full glory :-)
Set the environment variable CSCOPE_EDITOR or EDITOR to the name
of the editor you want to use. You may want to create a [cscope]
section in your djgpp.env file, if you know how to do it.
For more details what cscope is, and how to use it, see the documentation in the root directory of the cscope sources, or the man page.
*) For compiling cscope from sources, you need a much more complete
collection of GNU development and commandline tools, in addition to the above, and the obvious GCC and binutils:
- bash
- make
- flex
- bison
- sed
- patch
- fileutils (cp, ln, ...)
- textutils (cat)
Optionally, if you plan to modify the sources.
- autoconf
- automake
- Perl
These are the ones I'm sure you need --- I may have overlooked some.
The DJGPP source packages is already configured, so you can just run 'make' to get the package. Then
make install prefix=d:/djgpp"
(or wherever else your DJGPP is) to install it.
Or cd to the top source directory and execute the supplied djmake.bat:
cd d:\djgpp\contrib\cscope
packages\msdos\djmake.bat
and watch it compile. This will be necessary if you made any substantial changes to the sources.
Have fun with it. In case of problem, mail to djgpp@delorie.com (or the attached Usenet newsgroup) or file a bug report at cscope's page on Sourceforge.net.
