I'm using MacOS X 10.3.2 ("Panther") with Xcode 1.1 on two machines (an iBook G4 and a PowerMac Dual G4). I'm using distcc for my command line compiles, as I never compile anything OS X native.
The problem is that sometimes distcc will get stuck with some "cannot exec blah.o". I looked around and it seems that this was a problem of older versions of distcc which didn't allow to put the object after the sources (or, when linking the objects, to put the final object after the list of the 'source' objects).
That is, if the Makefile issues a "distcc bla1.o bla2.o bla3.o -o bla" command, distcc will complain while trying to execute bla1.o -- and obviously this is an incorrect behavior.
The problem actually lies in the fact that the rendezvous-enabled (zeroconf) version of distcc modified by Apple is veeery old:
lene:~ jollino$ distcc --version
distcc 2.0.1-zeroconf powerpc-apple-darwin7.0 (protocol 1) (default port 3632)
built Dec 9 2003 20:54:55
I tried to see whether Apple had released back their rendezvous distcc patch, so that someone would include in newer versions, but it seems not. Am I wrong?
I'd like to use a recent version of distcc to get rid of that bug, but I'd like to keep the compatibility with rendezvous...
Any hints, please? :)
