This is some good news. Upon doing the linux stations in the nerdery, I have asked Dr. Bindner to have distcc installed on the stations over there. That means you can make use some of their CPU power when they're idle.
If you have a large software package (e.g. The Linux Kernel, kde, gnome, ffmpeg,...) to compile, install distcc on your local computer and connect it network in the nerdery. You should see at least 3 distcc slaves advertising their services when issuing $ avahi-browse -a | grep distcc For some reason distcc shipped with Ubuntu doesn't play nice with avahi, so remember to export DISTCC_HOSTS with the list of distcc hosts you see. Now do $ export CC="distcc" CXX="distcc g++" before make and enjoy distcc. :-) PS. http://teddziuba.com/2010/10/taco-bell-programming.html ----------------------------------------------------------------- To get off this list, send email to [email protected] with Subject: unsubscribe -----------------------------------------------------------------
