compiling in Putty telnet window

[thornev]

Is it possible with SlickEdit v12 to setup a compile task so that SlickEdit executes the command in an SSH session established using Putty?  The SSH session is to a remote z/OS system Unix System Services session.  I know about the z/OS SlickEdit addon, but I don't want to get involved with it.  Thanks.  thorne

If your server support ssh remote command, I think it does. you can use ssh.exe from cygwin to remote run build command to build your product. I used this method in my working environment.

I've been successfully using PuTTY tools (plink, pageant) for remote development (Windows host) using ssh.
Have a look here for some further details.
Good luck, HS2

Thanks Guys.  I tried PLINK and I have a problem.  I can't figure out how to execute files such as "gmake".  I get "file not found" presumably because my PATH never got established as it would if I had logged in manually in which case my .profile is automatically executed.  When I PLINK a session, the environment is pretty much bare. 

Also, I cannot execute any files even when I've done a "cd" into the directory containing the executable.  For example I could not execute .profile.  I again get "file not found".

How do I overcome these problems?  Thanks for the help.  thorne

You've to setup your account carefully. E.g. bash behaves differently depending on the way it's started (interactive login/non-login shell, etc.). See e.g. http://ftp.gnu.org/old-gnu/Manuals/bash-2.05a/html_node/bashref_63.html#SEC63 for further details.
Have a look at this sample scripts to setup your environment consistently.
Besides the PROFILE_READ flag to avoid mult. sourcing /etc/profile the <home>\.bash_profile script just redirects to <home>\.bashrc containing the real bash setup stuff.

Good luck, HS2

What you need to do is to call a script remotely, this script will setup all necessary environment which you build env needed.

You should figure out what env variable the building is depending on.

Right, it's just more convenient if the shell setup (e.g. PATH that gmake is found) is the same regardless how the shell is launched (local/remote). And you've to maintain only one script (e.g. .bashrc).
