| <h1 class="topictitle1">Building programs on a remote system</h1> |
| |
| <p>A configuration in the External Tools dialog lets you build programs on remote systems.</p> |
| <div class="p">To build programs on a remote system:</div> |
| <ol> |
| <li><span>Select <span><b>Run</b> > <b>External Tools</b> > <b>External Tools</b></span> from the workbench menu bar. The External Tools dialog opens.</span></li> |
| <li><span>Right click on <b>Remote Build</b> and select <b>New</b>. A remote build configuration is created.</span></li> |
| <li><span>Choose the connection for the remote system or create a new one.</span></li> |
| <li><span>Type the build command or browse the file system to find the build command</span></li> |
| <li><span>Type or select the working directory. This is the directory where the command will be run.</span></li> |
| <li><span>Enter the arguments to the build command.</span></li> |
| <li><strong>Optional: </strong><span>Select the checkbox to specify that there is an associated project with this |
| build command. If the command operates on a set of remote files (for example, a command such as 'make'), the Remote System |
| Explorer will interpret any errors or other messages and allow you to double click on them to open the source. |
| Specifying this option means the Remote System Explorer will open the source from a local project (that is, it will |
| not open the remote source). This is useful if you are developing a program from a local project.</span></li> |
| <li><strong>Optional: </strong><span>Select the checkbox to specify that local files should be exported before the |
| build command is executed. This is useful if you are developing your remote application from a local project. In such |
| cases, you would export the files from the workspace to the remote system using the <b>Remote file system</b> export wizard. |
| That wizard lets you save the settings of the export to a file. The settings file contains information about which |
| files were exported and various export options. You can specify this settings file here. This configuration will use |
| the settings file to do the export and when the export is completed it will execute the build command. This ensures |
| that the local source you are working on is always sent to the remote system before the build takes place.</span></li> |
| <li><span>Click on <b>Apply</b> to save the configuration. Click on <b>Run</b> to execute it.</span></li> |
| </ol> |
