Introduction to Distcc
Distcc is a program to distribute builds of C, C++, Objective C or Objective C++ code across several machines on a network. Distcc should always generate the same results as a local build, is simple to install and use, and is usually much faster than a local compile.

Configuration Information
Add one of the following to configure if you would like to build distccmon-gnome:
--with-gnome --with-gtk
Not that --with-gnome takes precedence over --with-gtk.
Non-Multilib
Compile the package:
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \ --with-docdir=/usr/share/doc/distcc-2.18.3 \ --enable-rfc2553 && make
Install the package:
make install && if [ -x distccmon-gnome ]; then ln -sfv ../distcc/distccmon-gnome.desktop /usr/share/applications && ln -sfv ../distcc/distccmon-gnome-icon.png /usr/share/pixmaps fi
Multilib
This package does not install any libraries so only one installation is needed.
64Bit
Compile the package:
CC="gcc ${BUILD64}" PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH64}" \ ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \ --with-docdir=/usr/share/doc/distcc-2.18.3 \ --enable-rfc2553 && make
Install the package:
make install && if [ -x distccmon-gnome ]; then ln -sfv ../distcc/distccmon-gnome.desktop /usr/share/applications && ln -sfv ../distcc/distccmon-gnome-icon.png /usr/share/pixmaps fi
Configuring
Running distccd from Xinetd
If you do not already have Xinetd installed this would be a good time todo so.
Create a rule for distcc:
cat > /etc/xinetd.d/distcc << "EOF" # Begin /etc/xinetd.d/distcc service distcc { disable = no socket_type = stream wait = no user = root server = /usr/bin/distccd server_args = --inetd } # End /etc/xinetd.d/distcc EOF
Running distccd from a BootScript
ToDo
Running distccd from inittab
Add this entry to your inittab for distccd to run on runlevels 3, 4, and 5:
dscc:345:respawn:/usr/bin/distccd --verbose --no-detach --daemon
