Remote debugging file mapping

Answered

I do linux development on my mac.   I run a linux VM using VMWare Fusion.   I keep my source code on my mac's file system and use the Fusion's sharing feature to mount the source to the linux VM.  This way I can access my source code even if I don't bring up the VM.  When I build I can just run make from the VM in the mounted file system.

I have watched a remote development video for CLion and it had several approaches, but none quite like what I do.   It seems the remote build wants to copy all the source to the remote machine (a VM in my case), but I don't want to do this.  I just want to let CLion know how to map VM folder and just run make there.

Does CLion have the ability to do this?

BTW, I am new to CLion - I am evaluating it to see if it fits in my workflow.

Hello!

If you already have the sources on the remote host, you can change the Deployment path to the corresponding folder - https://www.jetbrains.com/help/clion/remote-projects-support.html#deployment-entry.
