[GD-Windows] distcc/ccache with MSVC

[Alen L. <ale...@cr...>]

Hi all,

Has anyone had success with using distcc and/or ccache with MSVC compilers.
We are targeting .NET2003, what would be MSVC7.1, but any experience or
suggestions even with the older versions would help.

So far, I have managed to extract distcc and ccache from cygwin and download
wrapmsvc.exe, from the Coin3D project. Allegedly, wrapmsvc.exe is supposed
to convert gcc-style parameters to msvc-style and call cl.exe. It seems to
do so, but when used with distcc/ccache, it spews something like this:

D:\Work\Temp\ccachetest>ccache wrapmsvc -c hello.c
hello.c
/cygdrive/c/utility/wrapmsvc ERROR: unknown option
"d:\Temp\ccache/tmp.stdout.aragorn.1644.i"

Btw, interestingly enough, cl.exe version 7.1 happily understands -E and -c.
Still, no luck even if using it directly(I.e. ccache cl.exe -c hello.c). It
produces output, but doesn't go through cache.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Alen
