I find this idea exciting as well. I also think it would be very useful to run MSC from distcc without wine on cygwin.


Since you have MSC working under Linux I started getting distcc to play nice. I wrote a quick sed script to transform the important settings from gcc to cl.exe. I suppose it is a subset of wrapmsvc, with which I didn't bother. Instead I took the approach of not translating all gcc options to MSC, but rather only -c (/c), -o (/Fo) and -E (/E). The script also fixes the temp paths for cygwin.

It now works with distcc for c++ files, and it should be quite easy to extend to c files as well. It is still very hackish (and cygwin centered), but if anyone's interested I can post it here.

In fact, I have a shell script which transparantly runs
the free-download version of Microsoft's C compiler
on Linux using Wine.

This sounds interesting. Is it availible?
