I am a Linux user (world was pretty neat; less to no headache)-- I've been using vim with cscope to wade through huge code-base....... And for some reason, now I have to use windows machine, here are the things I do have on my PC
git-bash
; downloaded Emacs (I start to love it); and within the Emacs package has ctags.exe
.
So, I am trying to create the tag file from git-bash
~/Downloads/emacs-26.3-x86_64/bin/ctags.exe -R *
The tag file gets created, but it skips the source code present in the directories, after running the above command I get
bin: Permission denied
contrib: Permission denied
crypto: Permission denied
doc: Permission denied
etc: Permission denied
games: Permission denied
gnu: Permission denied
include: Permission denied
initrd: Permission denied
lib: Permission denied
libexec: Permission denied
nrelease: Permission denied
sbin: Permission denied
Really not sure what I am doing wrong here-- even ran git-bash
as an administrator, tried creating tag file from cmd
by running it as an admin, yet no luck-- same issue.
What can I do to fix this?
