Specifying the platform settings
To compile and debug remotely you must specify the platform specific settings in the Preferences. To do so:
Specific Settings for remote compile and debug
![]() |
Note
| Entries in the User Name field are case sensitive.
| |
If you are using SNiFF+'s Make Support, in the Remote Host SNIFF_DIR field, enter the
directory where SNiFF+ is installed on the target machine.
![]() |
On Windows
| We do not recommend Windows users changing the
rlogin.exe
entry in the Local Executable for Remote Shell field because this rlogin entry has been especially adapted for remote compile and debug.
| |
In the Working Environment field, enter the name of the working environment.
In the Root field, specify the root of the working environment as you would access it from
the host machine.
In the Root on Remote Host field, specify the root of the working environment as you
would access it from the target machine.
![]() |
Caution
| Do not use any environment variables or any shell metacharacters to specify the path name.
| |
In a Unix -- Unix work situation, you can create symbolic links to access the working
environment root directory so that it looks the same from both machines. In this case,
leave the Root on Remote Host field blank.

Note
| Root on Remote Host is disabled when you don't have a
SNiFF_CROSS
or a
SNiFF_EVAL
license, please refer to Licensing.

In the Platform drop down, select the remote platform.
Press Ok to close the New Private / New Shared Object dialog.
