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...
