Compiling on Unix

Fonnieah · Post by **Fonnieah** » Tue Jan 17, 2006 9:18 am

Hi, I am new to Zeus and find it very usefull. I am currently looking at compiler options and wonder wether anybody have tried to ftp a file from unix and then running a script to compile the source (also on unix) I tried changing the compiler path to the full unix path but get a system error 'An internal error occured in the Microsoft Internet extensions' It compiles normally when I use a local file and local compiler. Have anybody ever experienced the error and is there any way I can compile on unix via ftp and how should the compiler options look then. We currently have a licensed compiler on Unix, but are looking to discontinue our software on windows for development (Replacing it with Zeus)

Regards

I have not had any eperience with this myself.

But if it is possible to do the remote compile from a Windows command line prompt then it should also be possibe to do the same from within Zeus.

Alternatively if it is possible to write some sort of Windows batch file or even a WSH Windows script to run the remote compile then it should also be possible to run that same script from within Zeus and have it capture the output.

The later versions of Zeus provide new ways of capturing the compiler output.

I tried changing the compiler path to the full unix path but get a system error 'An internal error occured in the Microsoft Internet extensions'

This sounds a bit like a bug in Zeus

If you post the command line options and path details to this forum I would be happy to try to replicate the error at this end and maybe offer some further advice.

Cheers Jussi

The link below descibes a way to do this from within MSVC using Telnet and SSH and this same approach should also work for Zeus

HOWTO remote compile with MSVS 6.0

You can get a Windows version of Telnet and SSH tools form here.
