Just in case someone on the Internet is hunting around for a solution to this problem--I had a very similar one on Gentoo Linux. Here's what I did to solve it:
1. netstat -c --inet showed me active internet connections. I could see both on the server and on the client that requests were coming into the server but nothing was going out. 2. I restarted distccd with the option --verbose (and --log-file) to get an idea of what was happening on the server. In my case, what was happening was that the command line for gcc on the server did not match what was being requested on the client. YMMV of course. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Host-connection-seems-to-fail-on-W32-system-%28Cygwin%29-tp7344631p24337838.html Sent from the Distcc mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ distcc mailing list http://distcc.samba.org/ To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/distcc
