Dear All,
I have installed distcc on two machines running gentoo amd64 stable.
One is a kaveri box and the other is an FX 8350 box.
I am new to distcc.
I am trying to create a set up where the FX 8350 box is the helper device o=
r I think what people term the volunteer device and I term the server devic=
e that is doing extra compilation work on behalf the client box; that is th=
e kaveri box in my case.
I may be getting the terminology wrong here. If so please would you be kin=
d enough to correct me.
My efforts to date with this are discussed here:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1112858.html
The client kaveri box is running reasonably well in that I think the distcm=
mon-gui distcc monitor fires up and shows jobs progressing listed as localh=
ost 0 and localhost 1 when I submit compilations (e.g. world updates etc) o=
n the local gentoo install on the client box.
But when I look at the helper box I can't see any evidence of it doing any =
extra compilations that look like they would be part of the list of package=
s to be compiled by the client machine.
I think I have got distccd running properly on the helper machine and I als=
o feel somewhat confident for a beginner that I have a minimal configuratio=
n for the distccd package to function reasonably well on the helper machine=
.
The default config file seems to have enough commands in it to allow a loca=
l subnet to be shared between the machines which are connected to a router =
here in a local domestic environment.
I am interested in any simple diagnostic tests that you could recommend tha=
t I as a beginner learning about distcc could undertake to verify whether i=
t is really working properly, in particular that the helper machine is infa=
ct truly being properly recruited by the client machine and sharing some of=
the work load.
Many thanks for any suggestions you could make that can help here.
Regards
Michael Fothergill
