Oh, I didn't know the difference thanks, I'll try working on a gentoo
chroot inside a Jail, and create a new rc.d to start the distcc of
that chroot, thx :)

P.S: isn't there a Reply to List in evolution?? emails sent to the
mailing list with evolution ( I'm not sure if all of them but yours
did and a lot before has the same issue. ) doesn'tpass the checks I
have in my procmail setting (attached) and end up in a wrong folder...

Cross compiling refers to the practice of compiling on one hardware
architecture for another hardware architecture, typically going from x86
to ARM I'd imagine.

In this case, FreeBSD and gentoo put libraries in different places, call
libraries by different names, and use an entirely different system of
makefiles for packages. As such, I imagine that either you'd be better
off making a virtual machine with gentoo installed in it on your FreeBSD
box and compiling from there, or it's possible you could compile static
binaries and use those.

I'm not an expert on jails by any means, but my understanding is that
the only OS you can use within a jail is FreeBSD, as all jailees share a
common kernel.

Distcc + cross compiling

2008-03-24 Thread Wael Nasreddine
Hello,

I have a FreeBSD x86 server, running FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE, I'd like to
create a new jail with distcc and gcc to help my laptop compiling
gentoo x86 stuff, I'm using GCC 4.2.3 on my laptop...

is it possible to use FreeBSD for compiling gentoo's stuff?? I heard
of cross-compiling but I have never tried it... if so, any guide
please ??

Thanks :)
