gnu make and compile engines.

[Barry D Benowitz]

The environment that I am after is where the developer sits at a desk running 
a local version of Unix (usually Linux, but possibly sunOS) and would like to 
do his development locally as much as possible. However, the code should be 
compiled on a "compile engine"

I have been using custom rules and enclosing the compile command in a "rsh" 
wrapper, but I have been unable to have gnu make understand when the compile 
fails.

I have tried saving the results in a file on the remote system, examine the 
file locally and issuing an exit 1 command in a shell script, but it doesn't 
seem to work.

Does anyone have any ideas for how to do this?

Thanks.

Barry
