CDT Support for Remote Project
Status
The enablement of EFS for CDT is being partially enabled. You can now create a new project on a EFS remote file system, convert the project into C/C++ project, browse and view the C/C++ code and make files on the remote file system, and build the project by modifying the build command to use ssh to launch make on the remote system. Solutions to the following bug items has been derived:
- 136136 Build directory should not be restricted to workspace (solution committed)
- 140950 EFS URI comparison problem (solution committed)
- 142092 CDT EFS support (initial solution submitted)
Still more works are needed to fully enable EFS for CDT, however we have decided to move on. There is currently a debate on the use of EFS in CDT, which can be tracked at
