[distcc] Re: Re: distcc and cl.exe (MS Visual compiler)

[Frederic Paolucci]

Hello,

As you suggested, I set TMPDIR=/tmp/. In addition I set DISTCC_VERBOSE to 1
and DISTCC_SAVE_TEMPS to 1. I also set DISTCC_HOSTS to br044test to force
distcc to compile on a remote computer (no localhost).

Then I created a simple file.c file ; To compile it I wrote:

   distcc tmcc.exe -c file.c -o file.o

Then I got the (now usual) error message:
   Catastrophic error: could not open source file "\tmp\distccd_ce7f0d4c.i"
   1 catastrophic error detected in the compilation of
"\tmp\distccd_ce7f0d4c.i".
   Compilation terminated.
   tmcc.exe: tmcfe command failed

A file distcc_22e80d48.i was generated in /tmp that contains the
preprocessed version of file.c.

When looking a distcc.log, I noticed some weird things:
* It says send ARGC00000005 (guess it means argc=5), but I see ARGV00000008
(argv[8]). Is it normal to have more parameters than argc?
* That are errors about file "(NULL)", host "(NULL)". Its looks like if
distcc was trying to compile a NULL file on a NULL host after file.c...
* I see "cpp file.c on localhost completed ok" and "ERROR: compile file.c on
br044test failed" so it seems that distcc try to compile file.c two times :
one time on localhost and another one on br044test...

Thanks,
Frederic Paolucci
