Re: [ptp-user] eclipse PTP + cmake ( + synchronized projects)

[George Zagaris <george.zagaris@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Roland,

I would run CMake in the command line on the remote machine, as follows:

cmake -G "Eclipse CDT4 - Unix Makefiles"

This generates a Makefile project that can be imported in Eclipse.
Then, in eclipse you can import a remote Makefile project. The
underlying  mechanisms to build a remote project in eclipse should
work transparently, e.g., "Build Project" should actually send the
commands to the remote machine.

I haven't actually tried this, but that's how I would expect it would
work. I'd be interested to hear on your experience if you get to try
this out.

Cheers,
George
