[gentoo-user] distcc with other distro (Debian)

[gentoo-user] distcc with other distro (Debian)

[Kacper Goc]

I'm using Gentoo on my Dell Latitide D610 laptop. I also have root
access to Dell PowerEdge 860 server with 2 Xeon processors running
under Debian.
Is there any way to configure portage/distcc to compile on server?

Regards,
Kacper Goc

I'm guessing that on the debian box, you run something like

# apt-get install distcc

Then configure it to accept distcc requests from the laptop. I used this guide:

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/distcc.xml

a while ago and got it running, but the machines involved were all
running Gentoo. There may be a gotcha of glibc (or other)
incompatibilities / inconsistencies between Gentoo and Debian, but I'm
sure others on this list can advise you better.

HTH (sorta),

distcc only "farms out" the actual compiling.  Pre-processing is done locally, 
so it uses your local header files.  Linking is also done locally, so it will 
use your local libraries. [1]

That said, if you have incompatible compilers (e.g. gcc-3.3 vs. gcc-3.4) you 
may have issues, and they may or may not be caught at link time.

[1] distcc tries to be smart when passed a command-line that would do both 
compiling and (pre-processing or linking), but when it can't separate the 
stages, it will end up using your local compiler.

Hi,

if there is an gcc version problem icecream is your friend
there you dont have so big problems with different gcc versions
and it is easier to configure
