[gentoo-user] distcc on cygwin

[Lord Sauron]

Hi,

As you may remember, my laptop isn't the fastest lump of silicon
around.  My desktop (aka "my baby") is almost 3x faster, perhaps more.
 I installed Cygwin on it (it runs Windows XP) so I could leverage
distcc to be able to make the upgrade from KDE 3.4 to 3.5 over night
instead of over the course of a month, as it would take compiling from
only my laptop.

That's what led me to accidentally uninstall GCC that time.  Now I
know about gcc-config, and I'm safely now running gcc-3.4.4 on both
Cygwin and Gentoo.  I should be set, right?

I started distccd with -a 192.168.1.102 or whatever my laptop was at
that time, and then let her rip...  only to find a compilation error
after a little while (maybe ten compiles, perhaps twenty - they went
at least 8x faster than on my laptop though!).

I just wanted to check and ask if there are any things that anyone
thinks I might have missed.  I'm not sure the GCC settings were right.

The asterisk denotes the config that is active.  However, I'm not sure
which config I need to be using to be compatible with Cygwin.  There
isn't (to my knowledge) a gcc-config tool on Cygwin, so I can't even
check by myself.  I thought I'd ask before diving through the
Gentoo-Wiki, then Google, then despair ; )

Oh dear!  I just found
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Distcc_server_on_Windows, and that's a
long list of things to do.  I had no clue it was so...  involving.

Expect to hear from me *much* later on this problem.
