Hello, an easy work around for the problem that cscope and its variant mlcscope cannot deal with paths containing spaces under Cygwin is to replace such paths with their DOS short name equivalents, since these do not contain spaces. The error surfaces as the error message mlcscope:

Can you answer the following question: Given a volume label, how does one figure out where the corresponding volume has been mounted into the Cygwin namespace? We're not mounting volumes, we're mounting Win32 paths. There is no direct correspondence between volumes and Cygwin

Hi, in Linux, /proc/mounts maps device names (/dev/sda2) to mount points (/home). in Cygwin, /proc/mounts maps DOS names (C:) to cygwin names (/cygdrive/c). This is not terribly useful. There seems no way of mapping device names (resp. Win32 Device Namespace names) to mount points -- the
