Overview

We recommend working over SSH on the student machines. We cannot provide support for working in other environments. See the section Student Servers. In particular, see the subsection SFTP if you wish to use your own code editor locally on your computer.

Make sure you have filled out your team-request form.

Project Instructions

Starting Out

On the student servers, change to your dropbox directory and clone the project repository:

cd /afs/nd.edu/coursesp.18/cse/cse30341.01/dropbox/teams/TEAMNAME
git clone https://gitlab.com/nd-cse-30341-sp18/PROJECT_REPOSITORY
cd PROJECT_REPOSITORY

Writing Your Code

Begin completing your project. Use git to save your work frequently, though you should not push to the upstream repository. For example:

git add .
git commit -m "COMMIT MESSAGE HERE"

Check that the project compiles with the given Makefile (by running make) and runs appropriately. You may edit the flags passed to the compiler only. Do not edit the path to the compiler or any other components of the Makefile.

Make sure that you have your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environmental variable set up correctly to link with the latest version of the C++ standard library at run-time.

Run the command echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH. It should give you a list of directories separated by the colon : character. The directory /afs/nd.edu/user14/csesoft/new/lib64 must be listed or you may encounter troubles. Use the command setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /afs/nd.edu/user14/csesoft/new/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH to add the directory to the path if it is not listed. You can add this command to the end of your .cshrc file for this to happen automatically at log in.

Student Servers

SSH (Unix-based systems)

They are accessed as follows:

ssh NETID@student02.cse.nd.edu

If you are off-campus, you will need to use the ND VPN or use a proxy server to jump into the data center:

ssh -J NETID@darrow.cc.nd.edu NETID@student02.cse.nd.edu

For convenience, you can add the following lines to your ~/.ssh/config file:

Host st0
    HostName student00.cse.nd.edu
	User NETID

Host st0-off-campus
    HostName student00.cse.nd.edu
	User NETID
    ProxyJump NETID@darrow.cc.nd.edu

Host st1
    HostName student01.cse.nd.edu
	User NETID

Host st1-off-campus
    HostName student01.cse.nd.edu
	User NETID
    ProxyJump NETID@darrow.cc.nd.edu

Host st2
    HostName student02.cse.nd.edu
	User NETID

Host st2-off-campus
    HostName student02.cse.nd.edu
	User NETID
    ProxyJump NETID@darrow.cc.nd.edu

Host st3
    HostName student03.cse.nd.edu
	User NETID
    
Host st3-off-campus
    HostName student03.cse.nd.edu
	User NETID
    ProxyJump NETID@darrow.cc.nd.edu

Then you can use the commands ssh st0 or ssh st0-off-campus (etc.)

SSH (Windows)

Connect using PuTTY to one of the student servers. If you are off-campus, you will need to configure PuTTY to use darrow.cc.nd.edu as a proxy server or connect to the ND VPN.

SFTP

Use the utility ExpanDrive (Login Required) provided by OIT to connect to any of the student servers. This is recommended if you wish to use a local editor on your own computer. Please contact the OIT Help Desk for assistance using ExpanDrive.
