Hello List, I've been trying to upgrade an really old machine to the new gcc, and so, following the guide, I'm at the "emerge --oneshot sys-libs/libstdc++-v3" step. This old hardware suits my needs for a web server and MySQL mirror, but that's about the charge it can handle, so, I've set PORTAGE_NICENESS to 15, I don't mind if it take a whole month to compile, but it must be responsive to other processes all the time.
What I've noticed is that the process is using nice 0 (that pretty much makes the machine unusable), and distcc is not working, if it was, I'm pretty sure the time would reduce greatly because other emerge operations that use it are getting super fast responses thanks to the distcc and ccache wonders (my host is already upgraded). Is there a way to compile this or migrate GCC with binary packages or something like it? I have compatible CHOSTs flags on both machines and the other one is a fast server. Any advice would be great. -- Daniel da Veiga Computer Operator - RS - Brazil -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCM/IT/P/O d-? s:- a?
