Remote C++ Development using SSH only inside Eclipse Environment

Question

How do you integrate Remote Systems Explorer and CDT plugin inside eclipse ?

What I mean is that you can use Remote Systems Explorer (RSE) plugin to work on C++ code on a remote linux box inside Eclipse but when you try to compile, you basically run a shell command through SSH. The CDT plugin is unable to locate the remote system and off course the remote compiler.

Is there a way to integrate both the plugins so that we can use the parsing / suggestion features of CDT for the remote system as well; and also features like remote compilation, remote debugging using SSH only. If this is not possible, then what is the closest open source alternative to the above problem.

Answer 1

The PTP project is building a remote build for CDT. Not sure how good that works, but you could always use the Terminal view from RSE to manually call your remote build (make).

Hey ..i am also eager to know about solution.. if any ..please post here if you get any.. thanks

Answer 3

Me too. If this question is resolved, it will speed up my app dev time by a lot. I find myself scp-ing the files back to the remote server and ssh-ing into the remote server to compile and test. I tried using SVN but I would like to work locally.

That being said, is there a way to watch a question on Stack Overflow? That feature will come in handy for me here.
