Xmake Remote Compilation

Remote compilation is "run the entire build + run + test on a remote machine, transparently". Different from distributed compilation (which offloads individual compile jobs to a cluster): remote compilation sends one project to one server, and every xmake/xmake run/xmake test command executes there.

Use it for:

  • Editing on a laptop, building on a beefy Linux box.
  • Cross-OS development (compile Windows binaries from macOS or vice versa) without ssh pain.
  • Running targets on a device with the right hardware (GPU/NDK/Xcode).

Compared to ssh-based workflows, this doesn't suffer from flaky terminal sessions and integrates into any editor without IDE-specific remote-dev features.
