Hi, I got distcc to work (as a client) but there are a few issues to solve. distcc-config --install fails. bash-2.05a# distcc-config --install Creating /etc/env.d/02distcc... Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/distcc-config", line 135, in ? foobar = pwd.getpwnam('distcc') KeyError: 'getpwnam(): name not found' bash-2.05a# On OS X, useradd is not used for new users: if os.WEXITSTATUS(commands.getstatusoutput('/usr/sbin/useradd -u 240 -g daemon -s /bin/false -d /dev/null -c "distccd" distcc')[0]) == 9: os.WEXITSTATUS(commands.getstatusoutput('/usr/sbin/usermod - g daemon -s /bin/false -d /dev/null -c "distccd" distcc')[0]) foobar = pwd.getpwnam('distcc') user = foobar[2] group = foobar[3] Since it fails at that point symlinks are not installed later. NB: By disabling the parts in the ebuilds that installs distcc server-related files (ex: init script) and by manually creating symlinks in the /usr/lib/distcc/bin directory since it fails because of the problem mentionned above, the distcc client can be used to do distribute compilation. NB: I don't currently have the knowledge in Python/NetInfo stuff to fix the script. But I am willing to test it if someone can fix it. David
Kito: perhaps you could take a look at this? I think you're pretty much the only one who has sufficient knowledge of the user/group setup on mac os x/netinfo to have a real say in it...
this is outdated now, sorry.
