<h3 class="section">15.4 Limitations</h3>

<p>The GPS remote mode imposes a few limitations:
</p>
<ul>
<li> Execution: you cannot use an external terminal to remotely execute your
application. The <code>Use external terminal</code> checkbox of the run dialog will
have no effect if the program is run remotely.

</li><li> Debugging: you cannot use a separate execution window. The
<code>Use separate execution window</code> option is ignored for remote
debugging sessions.

</li><li> Cygwin on remote host: the GNAT compilation toolchain does not
understand cygwin&rsquo;s mounted directories. In order to use GPS with
a remote Windows server using cygwin&rsquo;s bash, you need to use
directories that are the same on Windows and cygwin (absolute
paths). For example, a project having a C:\my_project will be accepted
if cygwin&rsquo;s path is /my_project, but will not be accepted if
/cygdrive/c/my_project is used.

<p>Note that even if you use cygwin&rsquo;s sshd on such a server, you can
still access it using cmd.exe (See <a href="Connection-settings.html#Connection-settings">Connection settings</a>.)
</p></li></ul>
