You need to use 'etags', not 'ctags'. It will create a file named
'TAGS', in upper-case. Try "M-x xref-find-definitions" after telling
Emacs to read it with "M-x visit-tags-table".
If 'etags' produces a TAGS file that xref-find-definitions says is
invalid, please send the TAGS file as an attachment, so we could
investigate.
Thanks.
