I have done a port of distcc which eliminates fork() for AmigaOS. Of course it has AmigaOS-specific pieces in it but it may be a good starting point to get you going on your own non-fork() version for Windoze or whatever. I was actually wondering if the distcc maintainers would be moving away from fork() now that the world seems to be going thread crazy? Last I read distcc wanted to be as compatible as possible which means the dreaded fork() will remain for a long time to come. --Steven Solie __ distcc mailing list http://distcc.samba.org/ To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/distcc
