tramp-2.1.15/cscope-15.7 and emacs 22 vs emacs 23

[Michal <rabbit50@tenbit.pl>]

Hallo group members

=== problem description:

cscope seems not working with emacs 23/tramp-2.1.15.
when I do:
M-x cscope-index-files on some remote machine directory:
/scp:root@remote.machine.org:/cvs/src-10-01-patches

it does not build cscope database (this is what cscope-index-files is intended to do).

when I do the same thing with emacs 22, everything is ok, database is done.

=== some investigation:
on my local machine I changed /usr/local/bin/cscope binary to:
#!/bin/bash
date
echo "cscope at localhost"

I did not touch cscope binary on remote machine.

then I run M-x cscope-index-files again on /scp:root@remote.machine.org:/cvs/src-10-01-patches.

emacs 23 result:

Creating cscope index `cscope.out' in:
	/scp:root@remote.machine.org:/cvs/src-10-01-patches/

Of course no indexing is done, this is just a standard template of cscope.

emacs 22 result:
Creating cscope index `cscope.out' in:
	/scp:root@remote.machine.org:/cvs/src-10-01-patches/

exit

=== my conclusion:
emacs 23 invokes cscope from local machine, while emacs 22 invokes cscope binary from remote machine, thus works correctly.

Do You experience similar behaviour? How to overcome it?

best regards,
