Remote development involves setting up a SSH profile in NetBeans in oredr to connect to a Unix/Linux server in order to remotely build FlightGear and its dependencies, this can for example be useful for cross-compilation, but also if you don't want to, or cannot, set up all required tools, such as compilers, locally. |

Download and install NetBeans 7.0.1
Go to http://netbeans.org/downloads/ in order to download the latest version of NetBeans for your OS/platform.
You can either choose the full download (~200 MB) or just the C/C++ bundle which is about 50 MB.
After downloading NetBeans, you'll need to install it
Installing required modules (plugins)
Using the plugin installer, you need to install the following plugins
- cvs
- svn (subversion)
- git
In NetBeans, just go to the Tools menu and select "Plugins":
Checking out the required dependencies
You will need to check out the repositories for the following dependencies:
- Boost
- OpenAL
- OpenSceneGraph (OSG)
- PLIB
- SimGear
- FlightGear
You can do this easily in NetBeans by going to the "Team" menu:
After checking out the repository, you'll want to use the NetBeans project wizard to CREATE A NEW PROJECT FROM EXISTING SOURCES for each dependency.
For CMake-based projects, you'll want to point NetBeans to the CMakeLists.txt file instead of the configure script.
Next, you should set up project dependencies.
Disable code indexing
By default, NetBeans will keep on trying and index all your sources, this may slow down the IDE considerably, so it's a good idea to disable this feature if you don't need it (CONTEXT MENU/RIGHT CLICK on project, go to CODE ASSISTANCE and then uncheck the marked entry):
Setting up the Jenkins build server
That's also pretty easy, just go to SERVICES and then right click on "Hudson Builders":
Next, fill in the URL of the Jenkins CI server:
Once completed, you should see this:
Setting up remote development
Remote development involves setting up a SSH profile in NetBeans in oredr to connect to a Unix/Linux server in order to remotely build FlightGear and its dependencies, this can for example be useful for cross-compilation, but also if you don't want to, or cannot, set up all required tools, such as compilers, locally.
