Having found that these instructions are inadequate, I'm setting out to fix them. First up is configuring cygwin. The ==== Instructions given on the linked page aren't enough to compile distcc with. What follows is an alphabetic list of all the packages (with versions and locations) currently in my installation of it. Most of them are going ====In order to use this program, several steps must be extraneous but I'm not ruling any out until I test them, so I'll weed them out over time, until we're left with just the required packagescompleted.

=== 0.3 release (Under construction)===
==== Code ====
All the code for the 0.3 release can be found [http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/imgs/Pcallaghanzeropointthree.zip here]. This contains three files:
<ul>
<li>pcallaghanzeropointthreeWHOLE.txt - the entire patch</li>
<li>pcallaghanzeropointthreeCODE.txt - the changes to the src directory</li>
<li>pcallaghanzeropointthreeTEST.txt - the changes to test/distcctest.py</li>
</ul>
These should be applied from the trunk directory. NOTE: use either pcallaghanzeropointthreeWHOLE.txt OR both the others, depending on your preference. The end result is the same. For more details see the instructions section.

Therefore, the major component of the 0.3 release is going to be a series of tests for the functions that can be run after any changes. In addition, (Time permitting) I'll clean up the instructions and make them clearer. Having found that these instructions are inadequate, I'm setting out to fix them. First up is configuring cygwin. The Instructions given on the linked page aren't enough to compile distcc with. There's a list of some 165 packages I had. Most of them were obviously extraneous and quite a few were downloaded by default. So I'm down to about 40 to test. The required ones will be listed with the 0.3 release instructions.
=== 0.25 Release (Obsolete) ===
A new [http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dfkp8fkz_3hqpw4f patch] has been created. All required functions are now complete for the Mono C# compiler. Now is a great time for more contributors to test this project and try to find (or fix) any bugs that pop up. I'm still having trouble with SVN, but I expect to get that sorted out soon.
