I'm trying to set-up a remote C++ development with Eclipse Galileo, but just can't make it work.
Trying the NetBeans 6.8 worked almost out of box, as described in this article:
http://netbeans.org/kb/docs/cnd/remotedev-tutorial.html
Is there any good article or tutorial, explaining how to setup such environment with Eclipse?
Thanks!
I tried it a few months back but it didn't work for me either. Instead I use X-windows to open Eclipse from a remote linux box onto my Mac. This works well in office ( both machines are on a LAN in the same geographical location), but not from home. When working from home use emacs-gui to do the same things. Its not the perfect scene...but gets the work done.. It would be nice to see it work in eclipse some day :)

I installed XCode and opened a new project using SwiftUI but for the following reason it is impossible to run the builded application. I did use the default code and press run.
I get the following message : "minimum deployment target. Change your project’s minimum deployment target or upgrade MacBook ...".
I tried to change the deployement target but immediately I have several Swift Compiler Error like this one : "'some' return types are only available in macOS 10.15.0 or newer"
I'm running a MacBook Pro with 10.14.6. Is there a way to find the source code for a buildable SwiftUI application on my computer ?
I cannot update to 10.15.0 so I'm looking for other advice or explanation. Maybe for some sourcecode I could use on my MacBook compatible with the Swift Compiler I have.
Thanks.
Thanks for your answers. I cannot update my OS and XCode won't build anything if I don't install Catalina first. I was hopping for an other solution, your answers helped me to focus on the right directions so I searched the web a little bit more and read articles on Mac OS X GUI Programming.
I'm now looking at Python : https://wiki.python.org/moin/GuiProgramming
I'm a little bit disappointed because I wanted to start something new with Swift. But, there is a good lesson here, and I'll do with what is possible given what I have :) Back in the days, for GUIs, I've used Web UI, Java and Qt and I was hoping for something new. I guess that I'll pursue my search to create nice and awesome native Mac OS X application both later and on the side.
Thanks.
TL;DR: is there a step by step tutorial to do remote code debugging using Eclipse Neon?
I have the source code in a Linux machine with a GCC dev environment. Normally, I ssh to the box, edit the file, and compile/debug using gdb, and it works, but it is a bit clunky for me.
I am now trying to debug the code from my Windows machine using the latest Eclipse version (Neon as of this writing).
I've tried following the instructions online (like this one), but they all seem to point towards (cross-)compiling the code locally, deploying it remotely and debugging there. This is not what I'm after. I essentially want to use Eclipse as a remote text editor+gdb interface, with the building and compiling being done in the remote system.
I've installed CDT, plus pretty much any plugin remotely related to remote development
Remote System Explorer
Remote Launch
GCC Cross compiler support
Remote (over TCF/TE) Run/Debug Launcher
Direct Remote C++ Debugging
TCF C/C++ Debugger
TM Terminal
So far, I can connect to the remote system, create a Remote Project and edit the source code.
I don't need Eclipse to compile the code (I can do that separately) but I'm unable to debug the code.
Using C/C++ Remote Application fails in many creative ways when trying to find gdb in the remote system.
Using GDB (DSF) Automatic Remote Debugging Launcher ends in a java.lang.NullPointerException, which also invalidates the configuration
Using Direct Remote Debugging Launcher asks about a remote workspace, then complains with "Error with command: gdb --version Cannot run program "gdb": Launching failed"
Remote Application complains about the Process/Image field. Setting it to the binary output doesn't enable the Debug button, so no dice.
TCF is dead in the water. It doesn't recognize the SSH connections I set up on RSE, it asks for the username password (I use public keys) and root password (?!) Even when entering that info, it fails to continue.
On a whim, I tried NetBeans, and followed the instructions here, and got it working in five minutes. The mode I'm following is the "Full Remote Development" according to NetBeans. The reason I'll still need to stick to Eclipse is that it is the dev environment that we use in the company, and it makes little sense to me to add another IDE to do something that Eclipse by all rights should do no problem.
What I find is that the walkthroughs for Eclipse I've found are either
Using plugins that are now either deprecated, not supported or have been completely reworked. Eclipse crashes and burns on these.
Trying to compile locally and deploy remotely, doing things like embedded even, but that's not what I'm looking for.
Using the Eclipse DStore client-server combo, which is essentially an alternative to SSH, but not what I'm looking for either.
I'm then hoping someone has written/found a tutorial that is relatively simple to follow (it is, after all, a relatively simple thing to do, as NetBeans has proven), and that works on any version of Eclipse.
I'll consider using an older version of Eclipse, but if so, please be specific in which version I should use, and which plugins I should install.
I'm having a quite big C++ project in Netbeans. It takes about 3 minutes for it to compile (with -j5 mode enabled).
I'm using my VM server (FreeBSD) hosted on Windows 8 and using SFTP option to compile.
Everything is working like a charm except that it looks like Netbeans is always making clean while compiling (no clean messages appearing in the output console though!). It's really annoying for me to wait 3 minutes for each change I have to make in my source code.
My friend had a similar issue some time ago - it was related to the Netbeans timestamps files (different time setting on the local & remote VM machine). In my case the VM machine time setting is the same as on my PC.
I am currently running Netbeans version 7.3.1 (because later & latest version are having some odd SFTP issue not working correctly). I've also tried the latest beta build including earlier versions and it doesn't seem to solve my problem.
Whats the problem? I will appreciate every solution.
There is excellent article "Make Dependency Checking" on this topic by NetBeans team which is worth reading to understand this behaviour.
NetBeans internally uses make utility for dependency checking defined in Makefile. When we create a new project in NetBeans, it enables "Full rebuild" feature. This leads to this particular behaviour.
However if want to avoid this, we can change this particular feature to "Incremental rebuild".
For complete information and to understand its consequences, please refer the above article from NetBeans team.
I'm developing a program for a specific environment. That means it needs to run on the OS and compile using its compiler. I have a different environment at home (Windows 8) is there a way Netbeans can be used to connect to the target environment and use its compiler? It is enabled for remote login.
So basically right now I write code on my home computer, connect using Putty to the target computer, copy the source code over, compile it and run it. I'm trying to simplyfy this process so I only have to use Netbeans.
Why don't I just get same compiler and do everything locally? The target computer is running Linux and the program has a lot of system calls.
I know Aptana has a simillar feature, but Aptana is so crappy in general I don't want to use it.
Let me know if my question doesn't make sense and I'll try and reword it.
Yes, you can do remote development in NetBeans. It's described in its Help subsystem:
I have a server with a very slow connection. Hence installing eclipse on the server and taking an xwindow was not a good option.So What I attempted was to install eclipse on my client, set up sftp via nautilus and open my c++ files on my server inside my local eclipse. This works great. But to run the files, I need several libraries that are installed in the server which would be painful to install on every client I use. I am now opening an ssh connection separately in a terminal and using it to compile and run. But I felt it would be better if it is integrated with eclipse as I can make use of eclipse's debug tools and stuff. Hence I was wondering if I can make eclipse CDT point to the server's version of G++ compiler and linker, so When I press the debug or run button on eclipse it would actually run on the server and just give me the output in eclipse's console? Is this even possible?
PS - I am not addicted to eclipse. It would be great even if you can suggest any other software that would allow me to do this. I am basically doing all this just to debug my code faster with a number of break points.
I finally made it possible using Netbeans remote C++ development I found here. Works like a charm.
