28;;; Commentary:
29
30;; This package is for running a remote compilation and using emacs to parse
31;; the error messages. It works by rsh'ing the compilation to a remote host
32;; and parsing the output. If the file visited at the time remote-compile was
33;; called was loaded remotely (ange-ftp), the host and user name are obtained
34;; by the calling ange-ftp-ftp-name on the current directory. In this case the
35;; next-error command will also ange-ftp the files over. This is achieved
36;; automatically because the compilation-parse-errors function uses
37;; default-directory to build its file names. If however the file visited was
38;; loaded locally, remote-compile prompts for a host and user and assumes the
39;; files mounted locally (otherwise, how was the visited file loaded).
40
41;; See the user defined variables section for more info.
42
43;; I was contemplating redefining "compile" to "remote-compile" automatically
44;; if the file visited was ange-ftp'ed but decided against it for now. If you
45;; feel this is a good idea, let me know and I'll consider it again.
46
47;; Installation:
48
49;; To use rcompile, you also need to give yourself permission to connect to
50;; the remote host. You do this by putting lines like:
51
52;; monopoly alon
53;; vme33
54;;
55;; in a file named .rhosts in the home directory (of the remote machine).
56;; Be careful what you put in this file. A line like:
57;;
58;; +
59;;
60;; Will allow anyone access to your account without a password. I suggest you
61;; read the rhosts(5) manual page before you edit this file (if you are not
a1506d29 62;; familiar with it already)
