Hello!
I have a simple, but very large, unix command line C program that I am
compiling. It consists of about 1000 separate source files, the
largest of which is 20 MegaBytes, the smallest about 16 KiloBytes
(source code).
I have just completed the initial compilation of this program on my
PowerBook G4, 1GHz. The compilation took approximately 6 DAYS.
Unfortunately, I have to compile it all again, as I forgot to turn on
a critical compiler flag. The total size of all the object files is
about 750MB!
Rather than wait another week for this to compile again, I was
wondering if anyone out there with a few spare CPU cycles would be
willing to let me do some distributed building on their machine?
I was perhaps hoping that an Intel Core 2 Duo running at 2GHz might be
about 5 times as fast as my machine. (2GHz instead of my 1GHz, and 2
processors instead of my 1, and perhaps another 25% Intel vs.
PowerPC??) As this is now a common configuration, I am hoping that
some good guy out there will lend me one of his cores!
So, if I could get a few volunteers, we could knock this baby out in
perhaps just a day (or, if anyone has an 8 core, 3 GHz beast, I'll bet
it can chew through this FAST).
If anyone is able to help in any way, I would appreciate it. I am
using X Code 2.4.1, (gcc 4.x), runnning on top of Tiger 10.4.9. I am
able to use distributed build with this version.
Thanks,
Helmut Brandt
