Re: [cdt-dev] Remote enabling auto tools
|
Not sure if it's the same as PayPal, but I have some teams using an rsync/ssh approach for remote C++ builds in Eclipse. Projects are generated on unix with an embedded auto-builder that invokes rsync on each save. The build command runs a make wrapper that fixes up paths and other quirks over ssh. It's surprisingly seamless for a duct-tape solution.
Coincidentally, I have also done remote debugging with CDT via gdb invoked under ssh instead of gdbserver (uncooperative security policy). It's a little awkward, I had to hack up a way to forward the process interrupt etc, but it worked well as a fully functional remote edit/build/debug environment.

Speaking of remote, what did you guys think of PayPal's strategy of using rsync and ssh for dealing with remote projects? Builds are fully done on the remote machine and rsync is used to sync the two together. Seems pretty obvious now that I look at it.

Looks good. I will start looking at making the changes on the Autotools side other than changing to the new CommandLauncher.
