CDT, RSE and CVS [message #8953]

Originally posted by: pdistefano.gtech.com

I would like to use RSE and CDT for remote development of an AIX
application written in C. Running Eclipse on Windows, I am able to create
a link to the application's source folder which is visible in the RSE file
system. As I didn't import this folder from a CVS repository, however,
the remote source code is not under CVS control. Is there a way to import
a folder from CVS but configure the workspace to be an RSE linked folder?
If not, is there a way (maybe using user-defined actions) to have CVS
calls be executed when a remote file is read/written.

Thank You.

Hi Paul,

I do not know how the Eclipse CVS client accesses the file system
for CVS operations (ie does it use EFS or just plain file system
operations). You could try this out by doing Team > Share Project
> CVS into a test repository and see if it works.

If it does not work (which I assume, to be honest), I think the best
thing you can do is have your CVS workspace on the local windows
machine and do all editing there; when it comes to compiling,
copy the files up to the remote AIX machine in order to do the build
there. You can use RSE Import/Export in order to pre-define the file
set to be copied, this can then be easily re-played at any time.
Or, you set up an rsync script with Cygwin on commandline like this:

#!/bin/sh
rsync C:/workspace user@remote:/path/to/workspace -options
ssh remote -l user "cd /path/to/remote; source envScript; make"

Name this script sync_and_build.sh, and in your CDT make project
replace the "make" command with "sync_and_build.sh". See the rsync
manual for options you may want. You can even set up cygwin mount
points (with the cygwin "mount" command) such that the local file
system has the same directory structure as the remote. Then, CDT
Parsers and error navigation for build and even generated makefiles
should work fine for you.

Cheers
Martin
