  1. Re:Live boot CD? on A Distributed Front-end for GCC · · Score: 1

    take a look at gecc (http://gecc.sf.net) it is designed to handle a changing set of compilation nodes. It is work in progress, but maybe you would take a look at it. It does not required the same header file nor all the libs installed on alle the compilation nodes, only the compiler (gcc).

  2. combine it with an object file cache on A Distributed Front-end for GCC · · Score: 1

    you could combine the distribution with object file caching. gecc (http://gecc.sf.net ) shows this. It is work in progress but you could take a look at it if you are interessted.

  3. Re:What's the point? on A Distributed Front-end for GCC · · Score: 1

    it really depends on your dependencies. Something
    like mozilla scale really well, with distcc and with gecc (http://gecc.sf.net/ ).

    For smaller project (like 100k source) the gain is smaller.

  4. Re:Helpful on A Distributed Front-end for GCC · · Score: 1

    have you tried to compile KDE with distcc or gecc (http://gecc.sf.net ) ?

  5. Re:Interesting approach on A Distributed Front-end for GCC · · Score: 1

    but than you need all the header and lib files on
    all the compilation node. neither distcc nor gecc (http://gecc.sf.net ) need this.

  6. gecc on A Distributed Front-end for GCC · · Score: 3, Interesting

    There is an alternative ( http://gecc.sf.net). gecc has a little different approach, it has a central component that distributes the compilation to a number of compile nodes. The set of compile nodes may change (over time). That is: compile nodes may come and go.

    gess is work in progress, distcc is much more mature, but maybe you like to take a look at gecc also.

    (yes, gecc is my baby)

  7. Re:Don't need the same version? on A Distributed Front-end for GCC · · Score: 1

    gecc (http://gecc.sf.net) takes care of that and
    finds a compile node that uses the same compiler. Think of something like mozilla, that uses C and C++. gcc and c++ could invoke different compiler (at leat different versions).
