Hi @jgust

Thanks for trying but, Not able to even download with the command you have posted.

I edited the command to git clone https://github.com/jgust/SublimeCscope.git "%APPDATA%/Sublime Text/SublimeCscope" But still doesnt, so I understood it have to be copied to Packages folder. i.e git clone https://github.com/jgust/SublimeCscope.git "%APPDATA%/Sublime Text/Packages/SublimeCscope" It shows for a second and sublime throws it out ( deletes that folder )

Thanks, Arjun

Hello @Arjun-NA

Sorry for the sluggish reply. Just came back from vacation.

You are correct, It should be the Packages folder. It's a typo in the instructions.

The reason it is getting deleted directly is due to a relatively new feature in Package Control, that always removes any unknown packages it encounters. The workaround is:

  1. Make sure the sublime-text application is closed.
  2. clone the package: git clone https://github.com/jgust/SublimeCscope.git "%APPDATA%/Sublime Text/Packages/SublimeCscope"
  3. Add SublimeCscope to the list of installed packages in "%APPDATA%/Sublime Text/Packages/User/Package Control.sublime-settings" using a different text editor
  4. start sublime-text

I just recently started using windows as a secondary development environment, so this packages hasn't been tested much on windows yet. It seems to work fine, but one annoying thing I've noticed is that each time cscope is called by the plugin it is run in a new terminal windows that pops up and closes again. I will have to fix that once I get the time.

Cheers, Julius

Hi @jgust ,

Thanks for the update. Got another way to install cscope. Thanks for making the sublime module for it.

Regards, Arjun.
