You might consider using sshfs if possible? 

http://fuse.sourceforge.net/sshfs.html

That way the "remoteness" of the remote file system would be totally
transparent to cedet.

I could try that, but I have had problems having semantic parse
network mounted folders before. Maybe I'll give that a shot if I
figure out what I was doing wrong earlier. Thanks for the suggestion
Richard.

PS: your web page helped me quite a bit in figuring out cedet ;)

Using Cedet with Tramp and projects on NFS mounts

[Suvayu Ali]

Hi all,

I am a relatively new Emacs user on GNU/Linux and loving it. I learned 
about CEDET from this list and tried it out. I need to work within a few 
frameworks developed in C++ and for code on my local machine it works 
perfectly. I have this in my .emacs to make that work.

But most of my work requires me to work on remote machines. So my 
question is, how do I setup semantic to search the directories in my 
project for tags when I am connected to the remote machine using Tramp 
like this,

/ssh:user@remote.host:~/path/to/my/project/

Thanks for any help on this.

  First you'd better post such questions on a dedicated cedet
  list where you'll find people knowing cedet features and
  details. But anyway !

   Simply try to replace it with : 

   (setq rootsys "/ssh:user@remote.host:~/path/to/my/project/")

   Emacs is transparent to such operations. The goal of tramp
   is precisely to make it transparent. For instance I do
   things like that for mew or w3m. Directories are on remote
   machines in certain circumstances. When starting mew or w3m
   there are tramp operations in the background and I suspect
   that it will be similar with cedet.

   Anyway you'll perhaps want to switch from a situation to
   another, but it's not difficult to change the rootsys
   variable and reinitialize other variables from its value.

  Humm !! In this case it might be slow ! But anyway not slower
  than your ssh connection ! Moreover, once all files would be
  loaded no more transactions will be performed. Anyway whith
  such a configuration I had to wait 10 or 15 minutes until
  everything is loaded.

Thanks Pierre, that did it. However I have some other issues because
of how the framework I work with does things. I will have to find ways
to work around it.

Thats very true. I will need different values for the rootsys variable
from time to time.

It is indeed very slow to start. But after it loads up its workable :)

Thanks again for the pointer Pierre.
