Hi all,
Does anyone know how you're supposed to set-up distributed Xcode
builds on a headless
Xserve? Obviously if it's headless, you can't just run Xcode and
check the
"Share my computer for building as a [High |:] priority" checkbox.
Alternatively, does anyone know what Xcode actually does when you
check this box?
I would guess something like
mDNS -R `hostname -s` _distcc._tcp. local. 3632
"txtvers=1;\nprotovers=372;..."
is used to register with Rendezvous on the local machine, in which
case I should be
able to create a StartupItem to run that command, then start distcc
from xinetd
(having first created a distcc user).
And you would be wrong :). We actually use cron to act as a watchdog to
make sure the various distcc pieces are running. In the future we
should be moving to a more sane model using something like a startup
item or xinetd to manage the distributed builds process.
Someone *must* have done this before though. I just can't find any
mention of it
anywhere on the 'Net.
You could easily use Apple Remote Desktop, Timbuktu, or VNC to get a
graphic display for your "headless" computer and set the distributed
builds up that way.

Kind regards,
