Well, you do get errors running fixincludes without header files, and a port would have to copy supplied header files to the right place. Perhaps the fixincludes errors wouldn't be fatal in building the port, but copying non-existent header files would be (but probably easily worked around). At any rate, the reason I haven't made a port was for the same reason that Chuck Robey objected to - I didn't think making a port for commercial software that has very low demand would be acceptible (you could argue that a $500 cscope might have a lot more demand than a $15K VxWorks development system, though). I don't have a port ready to go, but would make one if there were a committer willing to commit it. We could talk offline about what tools, languages, and targets we wanted to support.
