To do this you can use the <c>distcc-config</c> command to set the list of hosts. Here is an example of some hosts that might be in your list:</p> > <pre caption="Examples of host definitions"> >192.168.0.1 192.168.0.2 192.168.0.3 >192.168.0.1/2 192.168.0.2 192.168.0.3/10 >192.168.0.1:4000/2 192.168.0.2/1 192.168.0.3:3632/4 >@192.168.0.1 @192.168.0.2:/usr/bin/distccd 192.168.0.3 > </pre> > <p>It may all look complicated, but in most cases a variant of line 1 or 2 will work. An explanation of each line is: Line 1 is just a space-delimited list of hosts that will use default everything. Line 2 is a list of hosts that specifies the maximum number of jobs (by use of the /N) to send that host at any given time (specified with the <c>/n</c>). Since most people won't be using lines 3 or 4, I'll <uri link="http://distcc.samba.org/man/distcc_1.html">point you to</uri> the distcc docs for more information.</p> > <p>A sample command to set the hosts (for line 1) is:</p> > <pre caption="Sample command to set the hosts"> ># <i>/usr/bin/distcc-config --set-hosts "192.168.0.1 192.168.0.2 192.168.0.3"</i> > </pre> > > <p>The final step to integrating distcc into Portage is to re-open your <path>/etc/make.conf</path> and edit <c>MAKEOPTS</c> to include <c>-jN</c> (where N is an integer).

What you have to do is update your <c>PATH</c> environmental variable to include <path>/usr/lib/distcc/bin</path> before where gcc (<path>/usr/bin</path>). However, there is a caveat. If you use ccache you have to put distcc after the ccache part. Like so:</p> > <pre caption="Setting your path"> ># <i>export PATH="/usr/lib/ccache/bin:/usr/lib/distcc/bin:${PATH}"</i> > </pre> > <p>Then, as you would normally type <c>make</c>, you would type <c>make -jN</c> (where N is an integer). A safe number to use for N varies on your network and the types of computers you are using to compile. For me, I have a dual processor P3 and a K6-2/400 that compile everything for my desktop (a 1200MHz Athlon Thunderbird) and I use -j5. Test your own settings to find the right number.</p> > </body> > </section> ></chapter> > ><chapter> > <title>Cross-Compiling</title> > <section> > <title>A Note on Cross-Compiling</title> > <body> > <p>Cross-compiling is using one architecture to build programs for another architecture.

This is because the developers of Mozilla and Xfree .ebuilds disabled parallel building because it is known to cause problems. This isn't necessarily a distcc problem.</p> > <p>That isn't to say that sometimes distcc will cause a package to fail to compile.</p> > </body> > </section> > <section> > <title>A Mixture of hardened-gcc and non-hardened-gcc Hosts Will Be Faulty</title> > <body> > <p>With such a long title any explanation here is almost irrelevent. However, if you plan to use distcc across hosts that have the <uri link="http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/hardened/etdyn-ssp.xml">PaX/hardened-gcc</uri> and some that do not, you will run into problems.</p> > <p>The solution requires a little foresight on your part; you have to run <c>hardened-gcc -R</c> on the host that has PaX/hardened-gcc, or you have to enable PaX protections in your kernel and <c>emerge hardened-gcc</c>. Both of which are a good thing to do since for the most part the protections offered by both packages is a good thing and is transparent to the user.</p> > </body> > </section> > <section> > <title>Mixed GCC Versions</title> > <body> > <p>If you have differing versions of GCC on your hosts, there will likely be very weird problems. The solution is to make certain all hosts have the same GCC version.</p> > </body> > </section> ></chapter> > ><chapter> > <title>Distcc Extras</title> > <section> > <title>Distcc Monitors</title> > <body> > <p>Distcc ships with two monitors. The text-based one is always built, it is called <c>distccmon-text</c>. Running it for the first time can be a bit confusing, but it is really quite easy to use. If you run the program with no parameter it will run once. However, if you pass it a number it will update every N seconds, where N is the argument you passed.</p> > <p>The other monitor is only turned on if you enabled <c>gtk</c> or <c>gnome</c> in your <c>USE</c> flags. This one is GTK+ based and runs in an X environment, and it is quite lovely.</p> > <p>There is a caveat to using these programs. If you want to monitor any emerge, you have to start the monitor like so:</p> > <pre caption="Starting the monitors"> ># <i>DISTCC_DIR=/path/to/distccdir distccmon-text N</i> ><codenote>Or you can start the graphical monitor...</codenote> ># <i>DISTCC_DIR=/path/to/distccdir distccmon-gnome</i> > </pre> > <impo>If you are using Portage and used the above example, this will be <c>DISTCC_DIR=/var/tmp/portage/.distcc</c>.</impo> > <note>If you aren't using Portage you do not need to specify DISTCC_DIR (i.e., just type distccmon-text N).</note> > </body> > </section> ></chapter> > ><chapter> > <title>Future Plans for Distcc and Gentoo</title> > <section> > <title>distcc-subnetscan</title> > <body> > <p><c>distcc-subnetscan</c> is a perl program in development that will scan a subnet for hosts that have a participating distcc daemon. Even this will be enhanced to test if the daemon on a remote host will conform to a specific <c>CHOST</c> setting to make cross-compiling easier.</p> > <p>The perl script is being kept at <uri link="http://dev.gentoo.org/~lisa/distcc/distcc-subnetscan/distcc-subnetscan.pl">right here</uri> until a more formal home can be found.</p> > </body> > </section> > <section> > <title>distcc-config</title> > <body> > <p><c>distcc-config</c>, the userland configuration tool for distcc is out of date.
