Re: The globalrc file,

I understood your usage. However, I don't understand what you

want to do.

If you want to only put the tag files at places other

than the project root directory, you can use 'obj' directory.

Please see the online manual.

Otherwise, if you want to use GTAGSDBPATH, you must know a method

to set environment variables in gvim. I don't know about it.

"cd <project>" is required.

Usually, it exists in the project root directory.
Why don't you invoke gtags simply as follows?

Sorry if Question (2) was not clear.  Question (2) is about global, not about gtags.  To recap from previous email:

  Data base for project_1 is at <dbpath>/prj_1/
  Data base for project_2 is at <dbpath>/prj_2/

  Source for project_1 is at <first_path>/prj1
  Source for project_2 is at <some_other_totally_different_path>/prj_2

Inside one gvim, do ":cd <first_path>/prj1"

Inside other gvim, do ":cd <some_other_totally_different_path>/prj_2"

Now how to use global for the two projects from gvim?

Thanks,
