Re: [Matlab-emacs-discuss] Fonts renamed for emacs 29.1 + Relative startup fcn path for remote accesses

[Nidish N. B. <nid...@il...>]

In case this helps, here's a quick way to check the tramp stuff if you 
have a second machine with MATLAB. I'll refer to the primary machine as 
the local machine and the secondary machine as the remote machine in the 
following.

 1. Install emacs on the remote machine. Install matlab-mode on it also
    (ensure it is the same version as on the local machine).
 2. Apply the patch on the installed matlab-mode on both the local &
    remote machines.
 3. Ensure ssh server is running on the remote machine and is
    discoverable from the local machine.
 4. Open a matlab file on the remote machine from an emacs session on
    the local machine through TRAMP.
 5. Write some matlab code on the buffer.
 6. Invoke matlab-shell from the tramp-buffer.
 7. Check if matlab-shell-run-cell works.
 8. Check, from the MATLAB REPL, which device it is running on. It
    should be running on the remote machine.
