[gentoo-user] distcc and USE flags

[Coert Waagmeester]

Hello all,

Still new to gentoo. I use RHEL a lot.

If I want to set up an x86 distcc solution, do the USE flags need to be 
the same on all machines?

Trying to setup/compile all desktop apps on one machine with two 
assisting in compilation.

Regards,
Coert Waagmeester

the use flags needn't to be the same if you order the compile from the machine 
which have the binaries.

If you compile all on one machine only, I think too, but not sure, and I don't 
know how you tell which use flags correspond to which machine...

No. the USE flags determine options passed to the build system, so the
host's flags are interpreted before anything is sent to any distcc
clients.

The only USE flags that may affect this are those used to build the
toolchain on the various boxes, which need to be compatible.

Power corrupts. Absolute power is kind of neat.
