[gentoo-dev] distcc

[gentoo-dev] distcc

[MAL]

This is a solved problem, but I thought i'd share it with you.

On my machine at least, distccd, (which was running as nobody), wasn't 
getting the path to gcc, (as provided by sourcing /etc/profile.env).

This was resulting in remote compiles failing with: 'gcc: command not 
found'.

This happens because distcc isn't being run in a login shell by 
start-stop-daemon, and so /etc/profule isn't sourced, (as it is when you 
login).  On a side note, suing to root, didn't give me gcc either... I 
had to add '. /etc/profile' to my root's .bashrc.

Anyway, to fix this I simply added '. /etc/profile' to 
/etc/init.d/distccd, just before it starts distccd.

These dynamically pathed gcc's have caused me so many problems :/

This has been fixed in the newer releases of distcc (1.0 and above) by
calling gcc-config --get-bin-path. 1.0 and 1.1 are both in ~x86 due to
the stable portage freeze, but work fine.

Yes, I know why.. thus my adding to .bashrc. Remembering to type su - 
every time to login, is not a solution, it's an additional problem.

why not just alias su="su -"? i did this (because i had the same
headaches you describe) and it hasn't bothered me since.

Why ?  It works fine form me and is an space and one char extra.  Else
feel free to add hacks to .bashrc.

Just a quickie update on distcc here.

Within the past few days all arches (except ppc64) have been moved to
distcc-2.12.1 stable.  This version includes a rewrite of distcc-config
by Markus Nigbur (pYrania@gentoo.org) in Python.

As always, please report bugs to <http://bugs.gentoo.org>.

The distcc guide is at <http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/distcc.xml>.

Check this out:

http://distcc.samba.org/

This allows you to distribute compilations across multiple systems. The
only thing you need on the other side is distcc (and gcc), no shared
filesystems or anything.

I must admit that I didn't try it out yet, just mentioning the news :)
I guess it must work if you put the necessary environment variables in
make.conf and put distcc in the path like you do with ccache.

Wout.

Hey,

Not sure if it was on this forum or another, but some people have had
bad experience with it. If you try it out (I haven't either), search the
net thoroughly.

Just FYI.

Evan.
