Hallo, I have the following setup:
One workstation and one powerful multiprocessor box that I use only sometimes for compiling. The multiprocessor box is able to run 8 compilers in parallel. I normally compile on the workstation but sometimes when I'm in a hurry and need a big tree rebuilt I want to tap the power of the multi processor box using distcc. What I tried: just specify DISTCC_HOSTS=mpbox CC="distcc gcc" make -j8 ... Unfortunately top on mpbox shows that only one or two cc1s are active in parallel. I also tried DISTCC_HOSTS="mpbox mpbox ..." (8 times) ... -j8, but it also doesn't seem to trigger much more parallelism. The makefiles are set up for parallelism, when I run it locally on the mpbox it runs much faster. I also would like to include localhost (= workstation), but it should only run at best two compilers in parallel. I'm considering now to configure multiple IP aliases and run 8 distccs in parallel on the mpbox. Is there are a better way to do what I want? Thanks, -Andi _______________________________________________ distcc mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.samba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/distcc
