Hello,
Zeus is my favorite source code editor. To work on a large Linux/C project I have mounted the Linux computer file system to my Windows computer using Samba. This is great to edit the source code.
I want to execute 'make' on the Linux computer and capture the output and have Zeus take me to the referenced errors for correction.
I tried configuring Zeus to use plink as the compiler and to connect to the Linux box, make the project and capture the output.
I've tried this both from the Zeus compiler line and through a batch file but can't get the output to Zeus.
Does anyone have any suggestions including a better way to do this?
Thanks,
Steven H.
Using Zeus to Edit and Make on a Linux Box
Hi Steve,
Unfortunately I have no experience with plink so I am not sure if I am going to be of much help in this instance
But if there a way for you to currently run the compile on the Linux box from the Windows machine (i.e. totally outside of Zeus) and have the output displayed or captured on the Windows box then it should also be possible to configure Zeus to run the same command and have Zeus capture the output in a compiler window.
Also if you can get the errors into a file you can also use a Zeus macro to load this file into a compiler error window using the file_open_compiler function.
Is there such a Windows command that you can run and if so what does it look like
I would suggest doing a few searches an this forum for keywords like capture, compiler, tools, file_open_compiler etc as there are lots of ways that Zeus can be configured to capture output
Cheers Jussi

Hi Steve,
This link details how to run Bash from within Zeus via Cygwin and have Zeus capture the output:

It might be possible to use Cygwin some how to run the remote make

This plink page suggest that it should be possible to use plink to run the remote command via the Zeus compiler command line and have the output captured inside of Zeus.I tried configuring Zeus to use plink as the compiler and to connect to the Linux box, make the project and capture the output.
