tags2db

Tags2db is a program that converts tags files ( ctags, gccxml, etc.) to database tables ( SQLite, etc.). Currently only ctags, gccxml and SQLite are supported. Other tags files such as etags, and other databases such as MySQL will be supported in the future.

Screenshot

Here are two screenshots of the SQLite database converted from ctags (the SQLite database is displayed by SQLite Database Browser):

Dependencies

SQLite
libxml2 (Optional, if you want gccxml is supported)

Install

To build and install it, First install sqlite3 development package and optionally libxml2 developement package. On Debian, you could do this by executing the following command:

 # aptitude install libsqlite3-dev
 # aptitude install libxml2-dev

If you are using a source tarball, then extract it:

 $ tar zxvf tags2db-{version}.tar.gz 
 $ cd tags2db-{version} 

Or you obtained the source code through the git repository, run ./autogen.sh:

 $ cd /path/to/source/dir 
 $ ./autogen.sh 

Run ./configure and make:

 $ ./configure
 $ make 

Now the binary executables should be built. To install it, run the following command:

 $ su -c 'make install' 

This command requires root privilege.
