Hi,

Normally selecting a “computer used for building and debugging” will affect the following functions:

1. The target machine for uploading the sources [not overridable, but can be disabled and replaced with a custom action]
2. Machine where the build command is run [overridable]
3. Machine where the debug command is run [overridable]

You can override #2 and #3 by setting the “Allow choosing build/clean/debug command hosts independently” checkbox on the Linux Project Properties page in VisualGDB Settings and then manually picking the host in the build command on the Build Settings page and/or the gdb command on the Debug Settings page.

Another option would be to disable the automatic source synchronization and synchronize it instead via a pre-build action (transfer a directory to a remote computer).

Please note that both options require the Custom edition or higher. If you are using a lower edition, you could work around by creating 2 project configurations (one for transferring the files and another one for building), although it would be less convenient than a 100% automatic setup described above.

Hi,

Strange, perhaps the reply did not get posted due to corrupt cookies or some proxy issues. Either way, good to know it works. If you encounter any further problems, don’t hesitate to let us know and we will help.
