Using Distcc between Ubuntu & Gentoo

distcc 是linux分布式编译工具，可以大大提高编译速度。

下面就是在两台机子上进行的distcc的配置，一台是gentoo，另一台是ubuntu

Section 1 - Setting up Distcc on gentoo.

a) Install distcc and distcc-config

Code:

emerge distcc
emerge distcc-config

*If distcc-config is masked then

Code:

echo "sys-devel/distcc-config ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords

b) Configure distcc

Code:

vi /etc/conf.d/distccd

DISTCCD_OPTS="${DISTCCD_OPTS} --allow 192.168.0.0/24"

Modify the above line to suite your subnet. I assume your doing this on a lan.

Code:

distcc-config --set-hosts "192.168.0.77 192.168.0.36 192.168.0.10"

Modify the above line to include the distcc helper ip addresses.

c) Configure gentoo

Code:

vi /etc/make.conf

FEATURES="distcc"

d) Start distcc

Code:

/etc/init.d/distccd start

e) Finally, check which version of gcc your gentoo is running.

Code:

gcc -v

Section 2 - Configure the helpers

a) Install distcc

Code:

sudo apt-get install distcc

b) Configure distcc

Code:

vi /etc/defaults/distcc

STARTDISTCC="false"
ALLOWEDNETS="192.168.0.0/24"

Change the STARTDISTCC="false"
to
STARTDISTCC="true"

Change the allowednets network id to correspond with your local lan.

c) Check which version of gcc you are running

gcc -v

If you have the same version of gcc as your gentoo install, then you can simply run:

Code:

/etc/init.d/distcc start

If you do not, then follow on with the next step

d) Install required gcc and g++

Example, to install gcc 3.3

Code:

sudo apt-get install gcc-3.3 g++-3.3

e) Create a distcc binary directory with links
From here on in, the version will be refered to $version, please substitute this with your version number of gcc

Code:

mkdir -p /usr/lib/distcc/$version   <-------Make this ther version
cd /usr/lib/distcc/$version
ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-$version gcc
ln -s /usr/bin/g++-$version g++
ln -s /usr/bin/cc cc
ln -s /usr/bin/c++ c++

d) Set and export your new distcc path

Code:

PATH="/usr/lib/distcc/$version:$PATH"
export PATH

e) Crank up distcc

Code:

/etc/init.d/distcc start

And emerge merily away
