[distcc] Question for distcc

[Eric Keller]

Hi Tomluan,

Yes it is possible to execute distcc on Windows operating system, but
not from scratch...
You may install cygwin on a Windows computer with the distcc package.

Afterward you will just need the following files:
cygpopt-0.dll
cygwin1.dll
distcc.exe (4 host)
distccd.exe (4 server)

you can add all this files into an directory and declare it in your
%Path% variable.

Now most of the Windows make do not natively support distcc because
windows can not handle /cygdrive/
So you got to possibilities:

1. using cygwin to compile your project.
2. writing a wrapper to you compiler call (see example.c) where you
define the path of your compiler.

now you should be ready to define the following environement variables:

DISTCC_DIR=c:/tmp/distcc
CCACHE_DIR=c:/tmp/ccache (optional just if you want to use CCache)
TMPDIR=c:/tmp
PATH=c:\Programme\distcc;....

you can launch the distcc on your servers:

distccd --allow 172.16.128.0/24  --allow 172.16.126.0/24 --daemon
--log-file=c:/tmp/distcc/logdistccd.txt --nice 6 --no-detach

in a hosts file (located in DISTCC_DIR) do not forget enter your
different hosts starting with localhost.

I hope this could help you

Sincerely yours
