Have any of you had problems with computers which are part of your build farm disappearing from the available list? It happens very frequently at my workplace and the only way to get the computers to show up again it to toggle the "Share my computer for building" checkbox off & on. This is very frustrating (headless computers, interrupting other users, etc).

Anyone else experience this? Is there a known work around? Any ideas on what could be causing this problem? Any help would be appreciated.

With Xcode 2.2 this appears slightly different.

Xcode 2.2 has an updated version of distcc. Before, we were using a rather older version of it. If you've had problems with distributed builds before, you should at least try it again with Xcode 2.2. The Xcode manual has been updated in this regard as well, so give it a look.


I can see all the computers in the build farm, but half of them are listed in red as "Unavailable" or "Incompatible". (They are all running the same OS and Xcode version.)

They should normally show up as compatible, then. Just keep in mind that you can't distribute between PPC/Intel machines. In the distributed builds UI, the architecture is listed as part of the OS label, so it's easy to tell. Note each column in the hosts list is important: if any are red, then the remote machine won't work.

Looking for /tmp/distcc showed that it doesn't exist. I did the following:


mkdir /tmp/distcc
chmod a+w /tmp/distcc

Suddenly, the remote machine became available!

So the question now is: why does that directory get deleted and why doesn't it get recreated automatically?

Good question. Please file a bug.
