It seems that the built-in HTTP server class of python executes
CGI programs in the document root directory, not in the 'cgi-bin'
directory. Though this bug is reported in 2007, it is not fixed.
I added the following code in 'global.cgi' and 'completion.cgi'.
if ($form{'id'}) {
...
} elsif (-d "cgi-bin") {
chdir("cgi-bin"); <== Added
...
}
With this workaround, you need not make 'GTAGSROOT' file.
I believe there is no bad influence.
This code will be included in the next release of GLOBAL.
