Separating compiler and editor and/or targeting another pc for compile

[pavanb]

When you hit build, you can't edit code. Build takes a while, sometime hours. 

We would like to separate the compile process and free the editor, or target another pc/ip to offload compilation.

I would like a right-click option where a folder of packed libraries waiting to be compiled are queued and scheduled e.g 6pm or weekends and Labview is open. 

My colleague Bosko G has something on the latter (attached) and came up with the request. I am sure others have thought about something similar but I couldn't find a post addressing it directly. To be clear, the request isn't for a 3rd party cloud farm alone but also something we can setup on intranet PCs/Servers.

Thanks.

Hi pavanb

I think you can solve your problem with a continuous integration system

First you have to setup a continuous integration system in your intranet. There are a lot of different products which will fit your needs (e.g. Jenkins, Hudson, etc).

The CI will automatically or scheduled checkout the source code from your repository to another build Node (PC/Server where LV is installed), will compile the code on the build node and stores the executable.
