IIRC, there's a patch for GNU make (pmake?) that enables distributed builds.
I'm not sure how up-to-date this is, though, and I've never tried it out myself.
IMO, and no offense, Ken, distcc isn't great since:
- it's limited to C and C++.
- preprocessing is done locally which offsets much of the advantages of
distributing the build.

Hi, I¡¯m a programmer from Korea.
The size of our source is about 1G, and it takes 1 hour to compile

I am using ¡®make¡¯ to compile it, and I¡¯d like to improve the

Does ¡®make¡¯ support distributed compile? Or can another util do it?
My compile environment is windows 2000 using cygwin.
DistCC is one mechanism you can use for distributing compilation. GNU
Make itself does not do anything special for distribution other than
support parallelization with -j and -l.
For information about DistCC, check here.
