I thought I'd mention what I had to do to pull popt out of rsync and into distcc to get distcc working on solaris In addition to copying *.h and *.o from the rsync popt directory into the distcc src directory and adding the .o's to the Makefile, I also had to add -lresolv. The "worst" part is that I kept getting an undefined symbol W_EXITCODE. WEXITSTATUS was fine though. After simply not being able to find where W_EXITCODE was defined etc. I removed the one call to it and replaced it with the first paramater that was being passed to W_EXITCODE. After that everything was fine, as far as I remember ;) If this isn't clear enough and people actually want to know I can be more verbose. Just let me know. Oh and thank you for distcc. I have a Sunblade 100 on my desktop and it takes 4 minutes to compile one project of mine. Using 3 public Sunblade 1000's it now only takes 1 minute. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. One thing that would be nice, though I'm not sure how feasible it would be is if the "power" of the HOSTS was determined and then a projected compile time was estimated for each job that needs to be done and the jobs were distributed to reduce compile time. If I include my desktop machine and include a "bad" -j value I can take much longer on my compile because my desktop machine was given a job when it would have been better to just wait and give it to one of the faster machine. :) -shane _______________________________________________ distcc mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.samba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/distcc
