Hi Martin,
Thanks for your help.
Regarding my first question (TMPDIR):
Using DISTCC_TMPDIR won't help here, because the problem is that Cygwin is not giving the exact string as defined in the environment variable, but it convert it to UNIX path format.
What I did is converting it back to Windows path format, by rewriting dcc_get_tmp_top():
=============================================================
int dcc_get_tmp_top(const char **p_ret)
{
const char *d;
static char win32_path[MAX_PATH];
d = getenv("TMPDIR");
{
const char *d;
static char win32_path[MAX_PATH];
d = getenv("TMPDIR");
if (!d || d[0] == '\0') {
*p_ret = "/cygdrive/c/tmp";
} else {
*p_ret = d;
}
/* Convert the path to Windows format, so the compiler will be able
* to understand its inputs */
cygwin_conv_to_full_win32_path( *p_ret, win32_path );
*p_ret = win32_path;
return 0;
}
=============================================================
Lucky me, Cygwing code can access both UNIX and Windows paths format, so there are no problems with the rest of distcc.exe and distccd.exe functionality.
Regarding my second question (DISTCC_HOSTS): you are right, it is really working :)
The real problem is at distccd. You must give IP addresses for the -allow option.
Anyway - I just changed the code of distccd so it will answer every client.

I suggest you write a patch which adds DISTCC_TMPDIR and uses that
instead if it's defined.

I thought Windows domain naming was mapped to DNS in modern NT domains?
If so you should be able to just use those names.
If this isn't true in your environment, you'll need to investigate
whether there is an alternative to gethostbyname() which looks up WINS
names (??), and use that instead.
