Has anyone done any work on making an e.g. Knoppix bootable cd that makes a distcc daemon and gcc available to the local LAN? This would be handy for doing kernel/KDE/GNOME builds in an office full of Windows PC's for example.
No, but I'm putting together a hetrogenous cluster of Windows, Mac OS X, Linux x86, and Linux x86_64 boxes all running the same distcc'd compiler. Why force people to reboot to Linux if you don't have to to get them into the compile cluster? I suspect it'd be easy to add Solaris machines to the build cluster, too.
The trick is getting them all to run the same toolchain. I'll post the script I use once it's all working.
I'm very interested in packaging the toolchain and crosscompilers so people can deploy all that using RPM packages. It would be nice to only need 1 system for each architecture but still use the whole distcc-cluster.
OK, but note that the RPMs will be useless on the non-linux boxes,
which are kinda the whole point... it probably wouldn't be too
hard to build cygwin, fink, and/or solaris packages for this too, which would
give you the equivalent ease-of-use...
