Description Thomas . CLA 2010-08-16 11:33:01 EDT 
Build Identifier: 20100617-1415

Im working on a codebase with Pascal, C, C++, Java, Perl and Shell all in one source tree.  The system is built via "make" with handwritten makefiles.
The sources are hosted on a Solaris development servers. 
I have to access the sources via Samba shares from my WinXP PC.
The system has to be built on the servers, not on my client.

I setup the following workspace:
1. Create Java project from existing sources, project location is the codebase's root on the Samba share (this enables code browsing for the Java portions).
2. Convert this project to "Remote C/C++ Project" (this adds the CDT nature and enables code browsing for the C and C++ portions).
3. Setup a remote connection and a service configuration for remote building (and indexing, but I don't need this).

Result:
The codebase is indexed properly for Java, C++ and C, and code browsing works fine.
BUT: It is not possible to launch the build on the remote server. I was not able to figure out, which setting could connect the "Hammer" button with the remote build service.

Remote build does not work for this remote project.

Reproducible: Always

What type of connection are you using?

What behaviour do you see when you try to build?  Do you see any error messages?

I use the DStore rexec method.  The connection works fine, when I use the "Remote Systems Explorer".  I can browse through the remote filesystem, launch and use shells and ssh terminals.  The process lists are empty.

The following is the console output, when I click the "Hammer".  It seems to try to call the build command on the local machine rather than the remote server.

do you have the same problems on Helios SR1?

Yes, still the same with Helios SR2.

Also I multiple times retried by deleting .project and .cproject and create new project with trying different options.  None led me to a good result...

Development on RDT has shifted to synchronized remote projects. Are you able to use these instead?

Yes, I have changed my configuration. I am working with Eclipse for years now and most of the time I am satisfied. Thank you very much.

Functionality provided by synchronized projects
