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).
41 ;; See the user defined variables section for more info.
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.
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:
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:
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
62 ;; familiar with it already)
68 ;;; The following should not be needed.
