Compile Host Requirements for SoftBench Builder
In addition to the general requirements in “Setting the Execution Host
in a SoftBench Tool” on page 48, you need to set up the following before
you can use a remote compile host from SoftBench Builder:
• The directory where SoftBench was installed on the remote compile
host needs to be accessible through NFS from the host where
SoftBench is running.
• Include directories on the remote system need to be NFS-mounted or
automountable (for error browsing).
• To set the SoftBench Builder remote compile host in a network of
heterogeneous systems, make sure your login shell's PATH is defined
to contain a mixture of the PATH variables required on the types of
systems you want to access.
Execution Host Requirements for SoftBench
Debugger
You can use the "Options:Debug Host…" menu to specify that DDE and
the program being debugged should run on a different execution host
than the one running the "softdebug" program.
The current working directory should be a directory path that works on
both systems. For example, if your home directory is under /home on one
system and under /users on the other, you may need to change your
local workspace root in the project.
If the executable that you are debugging resides on a remote NFS file
system (with respect to the execution host), the file system must be
mounted with the "nointr" option set. See mount(1M) for details on this
option.
Be careful when debugging across heterogeneous systems and
architectures. Object files and executables may not be compatible in this
case.
See “Setting the Execution Host in a SoftBench Tool” on page 48 for
general requirements for setting the debug host.
