Re: How to run compile command on remote machine with a different direct

I want to run compile command from any buffer. So now my workaround is to change my build.sh to pipe the output to sed and prepend the project path name on the relative path name to make it an absolute path name. Since all my source code are under a single directory “src”, I was able to do this by something like:

   my-compile-command | sed 's|^src|'$prjdir'/src|g'

Hi,

My project has multiple directories and I want to invoke the build
command from any directory. My build system prints file path relative
to the project root directory. Therefore, when I build it on the
remote machine using emacs on the remote machine, I have to do this:

cd /abs/path/to/project_root ; ./build.sh

This makes emacs know that the file names in the compile errors starts
from which directory and I can use the “next-error” command to load
the file and jump to the right line.

However, when I run the compile command from tramp, this command fails
with: “No such directory found via CDPATH environment variable”.

Although I can start the command with: /bin/bash -c "cd
/abs/path/to/project_root ; ./build.sh”, it does not help because
emacs does not know the relative file path in the compile error has
changed to a different directory.

Is there a way to make this work under tramp?

You should work on a buffer which has the default-directory
"/ssh:user@host:/abs/path/to/project_root". There you can call "M-x compile",
and replace in the minibuffer the default command "make -k" by "./build.sh".

That's how I work all the time.

Thanks!
