Also the '-j' (--jobs) option of distcc, which might be useful in crafting the '-j' value you use with make. e.g. I use +zeroconf, and my set of available hosts changes frequently: $ distcc --jobs 9 $ echo make -j$(distcc -j) make -j9 # I only use Zsh, but I think $(( math )) stuff works similarly in bash $ echo make -j$(( $(distcc -j) / 2 )) make -j4 Best, Ben __ distcc mailing list http://distcc.samba.org/ To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/distcc
