I use make cscope in Linux kernel to generate the cscope.out, and in vim I can use ctrl-] to jump among function defines. But if I use :tselect to display all function defines, vim report

E433: No tags file
E426: tag not found:

and also when I use :tnext to get to the last tag, it will report the same error.

I use linux mint 13 64bit, vim and cscope are all installed by apt from offical repository.

ctags and cscope are two different things and handled differently in vim. ':tselect', the ctags-way to jump to a function, won't work on a cscope database. Instead, you want to use 

:cstag

The vim help system has a nice collection of advice:

:help cscope-suggestions

  • thanks your reply, I already have the settings in :help cscope-suggestions added in my .vimrc, and those s g c... seems working in my vim, but I don't find any instructions to replace :tselect :tnext and :tprev, which are very useful when there are multi find results. – Leslie Li Sep 20 '13 at 04:24
  • those commands are definitely useful. With the 'cscopetag' option set, my vim session appears to use the cscope database when using :tselect :tnext and :tprev – Rob Latham Sep 20 '13 at 18:01
  • I have done the `set cscopetag` in .vimrc, so this just doesn't work in my vim... – Leslie Li Sep 22 '13 at 05:20
