When ssh'd in, cannot run MS compiler /Zi debug option.

Wed Jul 19 05:42:00 GMT 2006

I suspect I'm missing some "rights". This is an issue for me 
on multiple machines running Windows Server 2003 x64 or for 
32b WinXP.

When I try to compile using the debug-option (/Zi) to the 
Microsoft Visual Studio Pro 2005 compiler:
 cl /Zi hello.cpp
it only works from within cygwin if I am on the console or 
remote desktop. If I ssh-in to the same machine, it fails with 
a error message:
 Fatal Error C1902: Program database manager mismatch; please 
 check your installation.
Compiling without /Zi works fine anywhere we try it. My best guess is 
that it has to do with some RPC rights required for the debug-symbol 
file (PDB) generation done by the mspdb80.dll . That DLL uses RPC to 
talk to the mspdbsrv.exe. 
Any ideas? Is this a problem because the compiler running as my via 
ssh doesn't have sufficient rights to talk RPC to the mspdbsrv.exe ? 
Is there some editrights-right that I need to add to the sshd_server 
or my own account to get this to work properly? 
When I run "editrights -lv -u myusername", it does not list any 
rights either on the remote-desktop or when ssh'd in. My account 
is an administrator account.
My cygwin installations are complete & up-to-date as of today. (I 
cannot attach a cygcheck output via the gmane interface). FWIW:
cygwin 1.5.20-1
openssh 4.3p2-3
(Please don't flame me for using Microsoft compilers. My code compiles 
with gcc on all platforms but one: win64 (x86-64 windows). Binutils 
hasn't gotten there yet; it would be *really* great if they did.)
Thank you.
