Beyond that, the distcc source makes use of fork() and exec(), which are not available with the mingw/windows library (they are available under cygwin, which is why you can easily build distcc with the cygwin gcc). I made a half-hearted attempt once to replace fork/exec with CreateProcess(), which didn't work, but I was using the cygwin compiler at the time, and the errors I was getting were, I think, related to trying to mix calls to native Windows functions with calls to the cygwin posix emulation API. Your message reminds me that I never tried to build it under mingw. In a few weeks I might get the time to try that. In the meantime, if you're successful, I'd be happy to hear about it!

Has anyone here successfully compiled distcc with MinGW? When I run the configure script under MSYS, I get the following error: checking for socklen_t... no checking for socklen_t equivalent... configure: error: Cannot find a type to use in place of socklen_t From what I understand, MinGW implements socklen_t but the WinSock library needs to be linked in. Has anyone patched the necessary files to make this happen?
