Remote gcc GNU toolchain from Windows? [message #200357] Mon, 27 August 2007 16:00 Go to next message

Hi,

I am using Eclipse 3.3.0 and CDT 4.0 on Windows, and would like to know if
it is possible to use a remote gcc GNU toolchain on Linux, instead of
using a local MinGW or Cygwin toolchain?

Thanks,

Mike

I'm not sure whether it works with Eclipse but distcc (a distributed
compiler) should do this ...

At least you can compile your program this way. There is probably also a
framework to debug and execute remotely but I don't remember the name.

You can of course also start Eclipse on the remote host and redirect the
output ... Seems to be the simplest solution.

Thanks for the reply!

Do you think it would be possible via CDT extension points to use the
remote gcc GNU toolchain, instead of the local gcc GNU toolchain?

Not currently, although people are looking at doing this.

Do you think this is at all possible with the current CDT (via extension
points)?

Yes... that's how we're planning on doing it. Basically add a new
"Remote Builder" option for managed build projects. Similar to the
Internal Builder, but it would invoke the compile commands over SSH or
whatever protocol the user chose.

You state "we're planning on doing it". Any thoughts on when this might
be available? I’d rather not go down a path of developing a solution when
there are plans in the work.

Guess I've been called :-)

The plan is for my team to crank out a remote version of standard make
for Ganymede (June 2008). Remote MBS is on our roadmap but I don't know
if we'll have time to get it for Ganymede, so I haven't committed to it.

Thanks for the date. Do you have a rough idea of how many man hours it
will take for full remote implementation?

I ballparked it at 25 person-days of effort, but that was for me to do
it (already more or less knowing what I'm doing). For someone not
familar with Managed Build's internals, it would no doubt take longer.
