my home network consists of 1 Athlon XP 1800 and a P120 Server. So I thought I would give distcc a try (maybe not a bad idea :).
What I want is: Everything should be compiled on the fast Athlon machine. I got this setup working, but I still have a few questions:
first of all, the relevant parts of make.conf: This is on the Athlon:
#distcc DISTCC_HOSTS="localhost" DISTCC_VERBOSE=1 MAKEOPTS="-j2" CC="distcc" CXX="distcc g++"
This is on the P120:
#distcc DISTCC_HOSTS="athlon" DISTCC_VERBOSE=1 MAKEOPTS="-j4" CC="distcc" CXX="distcc g++"
With this setup, both machines compile on the athlon, but:
- is there any way to shut down the distccd on the P120? When I did this, I didn't get a connection to the Athlon anymore and everything was compiled locally (on the P120) again...
- why is the CPU usage on the Athlon just at about 25% during compiles on the P120. I increased MAKEOPTS to -j4 to get slightly more CPU usage, but am not sure this is the best way to get more performance.
Every idea to improve my setup is welcome.
TiA, Ole
