[gentoo-user] Distcc problems...

[Jerry McBride]

I've identified a few packages that simply will not compile when distcc
is being used.

Has anyone noticed problems with; ncurses, groff or libpcre? 

I'm thinking about modifying /etc/portage/bashrc to detect a new file
named /etc/portage/package.distcc that will turn off distcc for
each package listed. Maybe even honor a custom make option "-j" for
listed packaged too.

Would anyone else find this useful?

I have found the same thing.  
I don't know the specific packages, but it seems to be true.

I just recompiled ncurses with seven distcc slaves and am currently
working on groff and libpcre with no problems so far.

Are you sure that all the participating machines have the same versions
of gcc, CHOST, and CFLAGS? Often a small error in one or more of these
settings can completely ruin a compile.

There are some packages (IIRC qt and OOo are some examples) that will
not compile with distcc; however, these packages already filter -jN (N >
1) flags.

[William Kenworthy]

all my systems running distcc are missing a few links to compilers in
the distcc directories.  Seemed to vary across systems.

one was a link to cc (found when compiling ccze for instance) but it was
always one of the less common calls.

The fix was to create a symlink to the generic version.

Check out /usr/lib/distcc/bin/ distcc and /usr/lib/ccache/bin/ if you
are using ccache for missing flavours of gcc.

I'm positive. I've spent hours on this so far and I can recreate the
failures without error... Sorry, just some humor there...

[gentoo-user] distcc problems

I thought I had everything set up correctly but apparently not.

I'm pretty new to gentoo, and linux this far 'in' any help would be
greatly appreciated.  I just finished the base install and figured this
would be nice to help speed along compiling the rest of the system.

I'm a little lost where to start and where I might have gone wrong.

Any pointers to steer me back in the right direction?

I don't think your looking for distcc/d - that's for distributed
compiling with other computers. maybe cccache ?

No, that's what I'm looking for.  I have spare laptop sitting here next
to the thinkpad that I'm trying get it going on..  Ironically the error
came trying to emerge ccache.

Are we talking about cross-compile too? What are the arches of your gentoo 
boxes?Tell us more about your configuration. Arches, who is compiling the 
packages for whom etc. :)

Sorry,
I would like to compile packages for gentoo.

Gentoo
uname -a
2.6.25-gentoo-r7 #1 SMP x86_64 Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T7500 @ 2.20GHz
gcc -v 4.1.2

Ubuntu 8.04
uname -a
2.6.25-21-generic #1 SMP x86_64 Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T550 @ 1.83GHz
gcc -v 4.2.4 (ubuntu 4.2.4-1ubuntu3)

some further reading looks like not having matching gcc versions will be
problematic and makes sense.

Could that be the exit code 110?

Any other system information needed?

Tricky one. I couldnt do the same with gentoo+debian. You can find both gcc 
versions by running gcc -v . You might want to read [1] and [2] about distcc 
on debian and gentoo

[1] http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/distcc.xml
[2] http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/112
