Well, the '--tag-relative=yes' means that the ctags tool will create relative
links starting in the current directory. So, in my example, I use the command
at the root of my project, say '/usr/src/something/'.
The source files at the 'something' directory are in a sub-directory called
'src' and I will put the tags file for this project in a public directory to
became visible to others projects. I will put the tags file in
'/usr/share/tags'. So, this is the command line that I would use:
ctags -f /usr/share/tags/something.tags --c++-kinds=+p --fields=+iaS
--extra=+q --tag-relative=yes /usr/source/something/src/*
The paths of source files in the tags file are translated to be relative to the
target file that has been created. So, the ctags tool will map the relative
path starting in the current directory ('something'), to the path of the source
files ('something/src') from the path of the target file ('/usr/share/tags').
(Did I make things more complicated?).
In fact I am using Windows so, I cannot use links as you proposed. Using the
ctags tool the way I mention it works perfectly for me.
