How to let cscope use absolute path in cscope.out file?

Question

Everytime after load a cscope.out in Vim, I need to change Vim\'s \"pwd\" to the same directory as cscope.out file is under, which might be due to that cscope use relative path

Answer 1

Note: since I am not senior enough to add comments yet: Aaron and Neha's answers were useful to me to learn more about the entire system, but the best and most direct answer to the question is currently in 3rd place and is Shayan's.

The asker was more asking about getting absolute pathnames by cscope, not working around it using (the very capable and powerful) vim.

Note2: There is another way to make a single change in vim and accomplish the same as what Neha did.

:set cscopeprg=cscope -P path_to_relative_base

I like Neha's better, but this way is closer to modifying cscope rather than vim settings, if this is what you want. And this is the only way that allows you to move the cscope db to anywhere.
