Here's a URL that shows the pane, and the monitoring capabilities should
be plain (Figure 6-3).
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/developertools/Conceptual/XcodeBuildSystem/800-Reducing_Build_Times/bs_speed_up_build.html
It looks like a pretty old screen shot, though, which is why I'm unsure
what Xcode 3 has in this area.
Yeah, that pane is still there, and for me, it is empty. Though like I
said in the original email, if I trash the preferences file and go to that
panel, a number of hosts quickly get listed and them removed from the
pane.
The first question to answer is what version of gcc and/or distcc is
installed on the other machines. In particular, if they have not been
upgraded to the same version of Xcode as your controlling machine, then
you should at least try one experiment of upgrading one remote machine
and see if it becomes available for distcc.
The build machines have xcode 3.1.2 and os x 10.5.7. I had hoped that
maybe there was a way to confirm the problem is version mis-match without
going through the process of changing versions and then testing. Like
maybe a way in xcode to say "hey, here's a hostname - can you distribute
to it?" But I've spoken to our build farm admin, and he's said he could
upgrade one to 3.1.3, so I guess I'll try that. The reason this seems
weird to me is because there are other people on the same subnet as me
with, say, xcode 3.1 who are able to distribute builds fine, so I thought
maybe the version requirements were tied to gcc/distcc version and not
xcode rev.
Also check that nothing has disabled distcc's capabilities, such as a
possible firewall or Sharing setting becoming disabled. It might be
something simple, like the upgrade of Xcode caused its status to change
in the firewall access-control list (System Preferences, Security,
Firewall, IIRC).
Firewall is all open. Are there any useful diagnostic tools for distcc?
I haven't been able to find any.
Thanks,
