I haven't tried it. My impression was that you could make it work by excluding localhost from the list, though you might also need to put the build directory on a shared filesystem so that the later compilers can be found. I think Alexandre might know. > P.S. One other little thing: I noticed that distcc > still doesn't like 0 length .s files. Any chance that > might change soon? Are you talking about 0 length output files from something like distcc gcc -s hello.c I'd like to fix it. It is a little tricky because unfortunately at the moment length 0 is used to mean "does not exist". It might be better to have 0 mean "length 0" and -1 (say) mean "does not exist". Changing this in a way that does not break old clients or old servers is slightly tricky, but it can probably be done. -- Martin __ distcc mailing list http://distcc.samba.org/ To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/distcc
