PostPosted: 02 Mar 2007 05:14 pm Post subject: Running out of space in Quickbuild temp directory
I am trying to set up a distributed uild environment as described in the topic discussion entitled "Checking code from a changelist number (perforce)", and it is mostly working well.

However, our build artifacts are over 8gb per build, and I am running out of disk space when trying to copy them between systems. This is because QuickBuild is installed on the system disk (c:\), and it tries to build the zip files in its own working directory (c:\quickbuild\temp).

I have a monstrous data disk on drive D, and have configured my Build and Publish directories to use this drive. How can I configure QuickBuild's temp directory to use this drive as well (without installing QuickBuild on my data drive, which is not an option here)?

I have defined my TEMP and TMP variables to a directory on this file, but QuickBuild doesn't recognize those variables. Perhaps it should?

Thanks.
