Remote Compile

Remote compile lets you edit a perl script on your local machine and compile it on a remote host. This is useful if your workflow involves editing code on your local development machine which is executed on a remote server or virtual machine.

Usage

In your .vimrc you should specify g:remote_compile_project_dir. Remote compile will use this file path to extract the relative path of the file you wish to compile and ssh to the remote host and find the same file in the shared folder and compile it.

In your .vimrc you can specifiy the full path to your local project directory and create a mapping for the remote compile command as follows:

let g:remote_compile_project_dir="/path/to/project"

nnoremap <leader>co :RemoteCompile<cr>

Installation

If you don't have a preferred installation method, I recommend using Vundle. Assuming you have Vundle installed and configured, the following steps will install the plugin:

Add the following line to your ~/.vimrc and then run :PluginInstall from within Vim:

call vundle#begin()
" ...
Plugin 'mshirlaw/remote-compile'
" ...
call vundle#end()
