Re: [ptp-user] Remote Indexing Issue with PTP 6.0.3 and Remote Indexing

[Beth Tibbitts <tibbitts@xxxxxxxxxx>]

CDT patch for UNC names in include paths is on the SC12 tutorials page
   http://wiki.eclipse.org/PTP/tutorials/SC12
and should be in the Juno SR2 release of Eclipse/CDT shortly.  (That's one of the things I want to test today.)

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=396651 - I've been told it's been fixed in CDT now.

This is *not* a "remote indexing" patch.  This is a patch to CDT to correctly use the UNC syntax of //connection/path/to/remote/file for local indexing.
Remote Indexing is used by remote projects - it happens on the remote system and the results are brought to the workstation over the connection.
I assume you're using a synchronized project, where the files are mirrored on both local and remote, indexing works locally
(utilizing UNC path to find remote files) and build is usually done on the remote target.

Hi Greg and/or Derek,

Can you point me at the CDT patch you are referring to?  I googled 
around the ptp and cdt mailing lists and couldn't seem to find anything 
matching those terms.

Thanks,

- Corey

I'm not sure what affect having both an RSE and Remote Tools connection with the same name would do. I'd suggest using only a Remote Tools connection and removing all the RSE connections to see if that helps. Support for UNC paths is only implemented for Remote Tools currently, and we don't have any plans to extend this to RSE.

I assume connection_name points to the name I give it and not the hostname.  Hopefully this isn't an issue.  I tried //IP//usr/local/include as well and it didn't seem to work.  I really prefer not to use Samba as currently the Samba configuration only lets me see my home directory from my mapped network drive; I need to reference headers in /usr.
