Re: [Matlab-emacs-discuss] Auto-completion while using Matlab remotely

[Eric L. <Eri...@ma...>]

Hi,

The reason is that the Semantic part tries to find the actual .m files so it can build up its symbol tables.

In theory, you could use TRAMP and rig up a directory name by hand (ie - not using the code in the defvar for line 55), such as:

(setq semantic-matlab-root-directory "/ssh:william@remotemachine/usr/local/MATLAB/whatever")
(require 'matlab)
(require 'semantic-matlab)

and you might be good to go.   I've never tried it though, so you will probably need to do some tweaks in semantic-matlab.el to round off the corners.

If you figure out how to do this, and/or if semantic-matlab.el needs patching that you create, let me know and I'll apply your patches / doc updates.

Good Luck
Eric

Subject: [Matlab-emacs-discuss] Auto-completion while using Matlab remotely

Is it possible to get auto-completion while connected to matlab via SSH?

I keep getting the message "semantic-matlab: Could not find MATLAB executable in path." when editing .m files. I tried editing the section in semantic-matlab.el where this message originates,

[line 55] (defvar semantic-matlab-root-directory ...

but I'm new to lisp and I'm not getting anywhere with this. Any ideas?
