A Distributed Front-end for GCC

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the when-one-compiler-is-not-enough dept.

format writes "distcc is a distributed front-end for GCC, meaning you can compile that big project across n number of machines and get it done almost n times as fast. The machines don't have to be identical or be running the exact same GCC version, but having the same OS is helpful." With the advent of faster hardware, I can't complain about kernel compile times anymore, but larger source trees could definitely benefit from this.

      What? Why? He does. Someone needs to really give it to him. Maybe slapping him in the face with a big ol' turd wouldn't hurt either.
