newbie, how do I open a networked project

[Michael Collier]

Hi,

I'd like to be able to open a project from a different machine, but the lazarus open project  window doesn't seem to list any shared servers in the left hand side (the places pane).

I've tried mounting a shared server so that it appears on my desktop, and then it does appear in the "Open File" dialogue of the ubuntu text editor, but still not in Lazarus Open Project window.

The reason for doing this is because I have a small network with Windows/Mac/Ubuntu and want to compile 1 central set of source files.

I'm new to Linux/ubuntu so hopefully it's just me not understanding something, note: the network seems ok as I am able to drag and drop files outside of Lazarus.

Thanks in advance,
Michael

And where is your shared server mounted ?
I also use linux (Kubuntu and others). I have more installations and I have my projects in /home of my first installation. In others, I always add line to /etc/fstab and I can access this "main" /home in /media/disk (this is point where ubuntu mounts disks). Lazarus uses standart system open-file dialog so you can access each mounted device there.

OK I think I get it, the trick is to modify fstab "by hand", as per
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab
rather than clicking around with the ubuntu GUI, I never would have dreamt of that, thanks!.
