Define mount points to shared drives

Shared drives allow you to compile, run, and debug files that are on the remote server.

This task assumes you have added a remote host.

Export the file system on your server using Samba / NFS / Windows® Share. You must share the drive using a standard tool, such as NFS (Network File System) for Linux™ networks. Samba, or a similar tool, can be used to allow Microsoft™ networks to share files stored on a Linux server.

All program files accessed remotely must reside on a shared drive on a server accessible to the client's local network. Genero Studio uses mapped paths to allow simultaneous access to two machines.
  1. Open the Genero Studio Server dialog and select a remote host from the list.
  2. Select the Add a mount point ... button from the Mount Point Table integrated Toolbar. A dialog lists the mount points available for this server.
  3. Select a mount point and enter the remote path.
    For a Windows Genero Studio client:
    Mounted point
    The mounted drive, the network drive that has been mapped to a letter drive on your local machine.
    Remote path
    The related remote path. For example, if your local computer has a mounted drive G: that is mapped to /usr1/public on the server zebra , the remote path for drive G: is /usr1/public.
    For a Linux Genero Studio client:
    Mounted point
    The location of the file system where the device is attached.
    Remote path
    The related remote path. For example, if your local computer has a mount point /mnt/work that is mapped to /usr2/public on the server zebra, the remote path for /mnt/work is /usr2/public.
  4. Select Apply.
    The character set will be specified in the environment of the remote FGL installation (set the LANG variable in the remote configuration variables). On the client machines, set Language support (text encoding), specifying the same character set.
  5. Define remote Genero installations, GAS configurations, and environment sets.
