Answer 1

#!/bin/sh

FREEZE_NAME=/* Give some version number */

mkdir $HOME/ctags/$FREEZE_NAME

V1=/* Software Path */

find $V1 -name "*.h" | xargs /usr/local/bin/ctags -a -f $HOME/ctags/$FREEZE_NAME/h.tags

find $V1 -name "*.c" | xargs /usr/local/bin/ctags -a -f $HOME/ctags/$FREEZE_NAME/c.tags

cd $HOME/ctags/$FREEZE_NAME/

rm -f all.tags

cat c.tags h.tags >> all.tags

sort all.tags > temp.tags

mv temp.tags all.tags

rm -f c.tags h.tags 

Put the above code in a .sh file and run... This will generate your tags for sure.
