To start it up, run
$ sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/distccd.steve.plist

I hope somebody finds this useful. Thanks for the great tool.

After struggling to get a cross compiler for powerpc-unknown-linux- gnu working, I set up distccd on my (much, much faster) G5 running OS X. I'm quite pleased with the results and I just wanted to share my LaunchDaemon .plist that I'm using in case anyone might find it helpful. I used darwin ports to install distcc so the binary resides in /opt/ local/bin and I used crosstool (well, sort of, it didn't really work but I left the files in the same place) to build the cross compiler so the path is /opt/crosstool/gcc-3.4.5-glibc-2.3.4/powerpc-unknown- linux-gnu/bin. I'm not sure if --allow and --no-fork are required when --inetd is used, but it works. Lastly, to keep from interfering with Xcode's distccd, I'm using port 13632. <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http:// www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <string>/opt/crosstool/gcc-3.4.5-glibc-2.3.4/powerpc- unknown-linux-gnu/bin</string>
