I've just started using TRAMP and find that it solves my problem handily!
The one problem I have is that while I can edit remote files across
multiple firewalls, I'm unable to compile without having a shell open
on the host where I'm editting code from. I use the following lambda
function in my c-mode-hook:
(local-set-key "\M-m" '(lambda ()
(interactive)
(save-buffer)
(compile "make -j2"))
My elisp is pretty rusty (besides being weak), so if someone has an
idea how to accomplish a remote compile I'd like to hear about it :)
Failing that, maybe a similar feature could be added to TRAMP. I
admit I haven't looked deeply into the TRAMP code yet, so please be
kind if there is an easy obvious way to do this that I missed.
Thanks again,
ejo
