Description Guy CLA 2004-08-05 11:53:18 EDT
I am working with Eclipse3 and CDT2.0.
I am working on windows but my project is on Solaris (I mounted to it and I can 
see in in windows from the z driver). I brought the project to Eclipse and I 
compiled it with remote compilation. The compilation succeeded. When I try to 
navigate through the code with the Open Declaration feature or with pressing F3
I keep getting the message: "The operation is unavailable on the current 
selection" and the navigation fails.

Please provide an example that fails. 
Also, provide information regarding your build settings. 
Are you using managed or standard make? 
What compiler are you using? 
Does CDT discover the include paths for you?

If you have some information that can help me identify and solve this problem, 
please feel free to reopen the defect.  
Comment 3 Guy CLA 2004-09-27 10:56:32 EDT
I provided every thing to John
After discussion this is what Vladimir Hirsl [vhirsl@ca.ibm.com] had said:
unfortunately, there is not much chance that Scanner Config discovered from the 
remote compilation is going to be useful. The reason is a step in Scanner 
Config discovery which tries to translate discovered include paths into 
absolute paths. Since discovered paths are on a different machine, the 
translation will fail since the paths are nonexistent on the local machine. The 
only way it could work is if both local and remote machines are *nix machines 
and the remote path is mounted on the same local path. But since your local 
machine is Windows, I am afraid it will not work.

Future means you commit to fix it in the Future. Inboxes can't make committments. Moving to '--'.
Comment 6 Chris Recoskie CLA 2009-05-06 15:52:49 EDT
RDT has remote scanner discovery (although it's pretty glitchy right now).  Given that the remote stuff is by and large living in RDT and not CDT, it makes sense to me to move this there.
Comment 7 Chris Recoskie CLA 2013-10-28 13:34:30 EDT
There has been remote scanner discovery for a long time now in RDT.
