Hello, So here's what I did to make distcc work on Cygwin.
In cygwin, before launching the server, I had to write: "export TMPDIR=c:/temp" That's all! Note that if It set TMPDIR to c:/temp in windows variables, it doesn't work because cygwin converts it to "/cygdrive/c/temp" and distcc dislike that syntax. Then I did the patch suggested by Sebastien in dcc_get_tmp_top() not to have to export TMPDIR each time. FYI, I succeeded to automatically start distccd as a service in cygwin (thanks to Paul Donovan) ; I had to wrote: cygrunsrv -I distccd -a "--daemon --no-detach" -p /usr/local/bin/distccd.exe cygrunsrv -S distccd Hope that will help people using distcc in cygwin.
