Subject: Re: x86 Darwin compiler farm?
I should clarify the above statement.
Currently (as of Xcode 2.1), the following things have to be true to
be able to distribute to a remote machine:
- both machines need to be the same architecture
- both machines need to be running the same OS version as indicated
by the Darwin version
- both machines need to have the same set of compilers (in the common
case this is gcc 3.3 and gcc 4.0) with matching versions for each
compiler
- both machines need to have the same version of distcc
Is Xcode doing more than just calling distcc? The web site of distcc
(distcc.samba.org) indicates that distributed compiling across CPU
architectures should work:
"distcc does not require all machines to share a filesystem, have
synchronized clocks, or to have the same libraries or header files
installed. They can even have different processors or operating
systems, if cross-compilers are installed."
That sounds like I wouldn't even need to install Darwin on my PC -
Windows or Linux with gcc 4.0 should be sufficient to use it for
distributed distcc builds. While it won't work with Xcode, it sounds
like it should work with Makefiles.
