My project has multiple directories and I want to invoke the build command from any directory. My build system prints file path relative to the project root directory. Therefore, when I build it on the remote machine using emacs on the remote machine, I have to do this:
cd /abs/path/to/project_root ; ./build.sh This makes emacs know that the file names in the compile errors starts from which directory and I can use the “next-error” command to load the file and jump to the right line. However, when I run the compile command from tramp, this command fails with: “No such directory found via CDPATH environment variable”. Although I can start the command with: /bin/bash -c "cd /abs/path/to/project_root ; ./build.sh”, it does not help because emacs does not know the relative file path in the compile error has changed to a different directory. Is there a way to make this work under tramp? Thanks! -Wenguang
