Hi all. I have an old celeron running NetBSD i386 which runs very nicely thankyou. (:
But to save wasting time I'd like to compile pkgsrc programs on a fast, multicore Linux machine. This machine runs debian (9/x86_64). Following https://wiki.netbsd.org/tutorials/pkgsrc/cross_compile_distcc/, I installed gcc g++ zlib1g-dev and ncurses-base on my debian machine, and downloaded the NetBSD sources # cd /root/netbsd-distcc # cvs -d anon...@anoncvs.netbsd.org:/cvsroot co -rnetbsd-7-1-RELEASE src Ran the build script # cd src # ./build.sh -m i386 tools This left me with /root/netbsd-distcc/src/obj/tooldir.Linux-4.9.0-3-amd64-x86_64 I then installed distcc, and because systemd failed miserably in starting it up, wrote a little script to do that for me: #!/bin/csh setenv PATH=/root/netbsd-distcc/src/obj/tooldir.Linux-4.9.0-3-amd64-x86_64/i486--netbsdelf/bin:$PATH setenv DISTCC_VERBOSE 1 distccd --allow a.b.c.d --nice 5 --jobs 7 --stats --log-file=/var/log/distccd.log Setup the firewall, fired up distcc on Linux. Ok. Then I went to the NetBSD machine (i386 7.1), installed distcc from pkgsrc, and edited /etc/mk.conf to include this: PKGSRC_COMPILER=ccache distcc gcc MAKE_JOBS=6 DISTCC_HOSTS=mydebianpc:3632 I tried to compile rxvt in the first instance, but it fails while trying to build ccache with main.o: file not recognized: File format not recognized distcc[7918] ERROR: compile (null) on localhost failed I can see the builds coming into my debian machine, the logs look like this: distccd[31676] (dcc_job_summary) client: a.b.c.d:65411 COMPILE_OK exit:0 sig:0 core:0 ret:0 time:146ms gcc compopt.c I'm almost there I can feel it in my bones. Apologies for the long post but I'm trying not to miss anything important. Does anyone have any ideas which steps I may have missed or done wrong?
