distcc is a program to distribute compilation of C code across
|
|
several machines on a network. distcc should always generate the
|
|
same results as a local compile, is simple to install and use, and
|
|
is often significantly faster than a local compile.
|
|
|
|
Unlike other distributed build systems, distcc does not require all
|
|
machines to share a filesystem, have synchronized clocks, or to
|
|
have the same libraries or header files installed. Machines can be
|
|
running different operating systems, as long as they have compatible
|
|
binary formats or cross-compilers.
|
|
|
|
distcc sends the complete preprocessed source code across the network
|
|
for each job, so all it requires of the volunteer machines is that
|
|
they be running the distccd daemon, and that they have an appropriate
|
|
compiler installed.
