I have a couple of questions about using distcc. I have two machines. One is significantly faster than the other, both x86 (pentium 2 and amd athlon-xp).
I've followed the http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/distcc.xml instructions for configuring portage to use distcc. Should I need to continue with the instructions for "working with automake"? Also, how do I tell the faster machine to just use it's own power and not attempt to use the slower one? I tried so far, getting distccd running on both machines, each distcc-config --set-hosts has one IP entry, that of the other machine. Is this right? I ran distcc-gnome and saw no activity reported on the faster machine when emerging something on the slower one. So, it would seem it's not working. Can anyone give me some hints? The manpage for distcc doesn't seem (to me) to be much related to the gentoo how-to...
