There were no special config steps. But contrary to my previous mail,
one
small change was required to 'generic.pm'. The windows version of ctags
does not recognize unix style directory separators. Hence the following
change:
---
if ($config->ectagsbin) {
# Windows specific patch - ctags.exe expects \tmp\lxrtemp...
instead of /tmp/lxrtemp....
# ie replace forward slash with backslash to account for Windows
filenaming convention
$path =~ s/\//\\/;
open(CTAGS, join(" ", $config->ectagsbin,
$self->ectagsopts,
"--excmd=number",
"--language-force=$langforce",
"-f", "-",
---
If the cygwin version of ctags were used, no changes would be required,
however.
Before running genxref, the user must ensure that the drive [c:, d:,
etc] from genxref is executed
must have a \tmp directory

But I still don't have the CVS part working. What happened is that I
dabbled with NTFS file
permissions and now LXR is not able to read the some files and
directories. So do you think it
is advisable to post it now? And to which forum should I post the
developments?

Sure. I have added the code currently only for MySQL. But I have not
used the regular expression based
query facilities available in MySQL. Instead I get all identifiers and
match with the supplied regexp.
I have found the facility were useful indeed! One bad thing is that I
have not yet made it conformant
with CSS use. Your opinion ?
--------------------------------------------------------------------
One more feature that would be helpful is a GUI frontend for lxr.conf.
This would prevent a lot of frustration due to non-existent/ wrong path,
inappropriate permission on files, etc.
Any takers ?
