My users were quite upset by the problem described here: http://distcc.samba.org/faq.html#gdb It appears to be resolved in modern compilers like gcc-4.0, but we still sometimes use gcc-2.95.3, so we need the patch. So I forward-ported the patch to distcc-2.18.3. Annoyingly, it seems to have a bug which only shows up when doing nonrecursive builds of nested directories; if a file foo.cc is in directory apple/bananna, the path and you compile it from directory apple as bananna/foo.cc, you end up with paths like apple/bananna/bananna/foo.cc, which isn't good. The solution was easy, but I wonder if the original author of the patch knows something I don't...
Anyway, the forward-ported and hopefully bugfixed patch is online at http://kegel.com/distcc/distcc-2.18.3-line.patch It's probably only useful for anyone building with older compilers, so I kind of agree with Martin's decision to not apply it by default. -- Why won't Johnny run Linux?
