Basically, I really miss this utility (I have it on my >unixware boxes at home). Is there a port or freeware version of it anywhere? Or >is it strictly an AT&T/SYSV thing? TIA. You can get cscope (and a whole bunch of other things) on a CD-ROM called "The Best of the Software Toolchest Volume 1" that AT&T sell. I've forgotten the cost (in the order of a few hundred $ for a source license with rights to use however you wish within your organisation, or something like that). It isn't free software but cscope is extremely useful. We got ours from Unipress Cscope, however, uses features of AT&T lex (redefines the input macro and makes assumptions about the names and format of the input buffer stuff) and doesn't build straight out of the box under FreeBSD - scanner.l needs to be fixed before it will work correctly. If I get some time I'll fix scanner.l so it works correctly. Send some mail if you want to discuss it. BTW has anyone got a fix for make so it handles library dependencies correctly in 2.1.5 (the only version I've played with)? They aren't working for me. -- Andy Newman <andy@research.canon.com.au>
