Distcc not work on Gentoo

konqi · 01-03-2011, 01:24 PM

I have Gentoo on my desktop and on my server. I want to speed up the compillation on the desktop a bit by using distcc. As far as I know i have configured everything correctly, however it isn't working. It just compiles the program on the desktop. I have set FEATURES="distcc" and MAKEOPTS="-j6" on both the desktop and the server.

For information i post the configuration files of distccd, from both the server and the desktop.

** Desktop's hostname: daedalus **
** Server's hostname: morpheus **

Desktop's /etc/conf.d/distccd

Code:

# /etc/conf.d/distccd: config file for /etc/init.d/distccd

DISTCCD_OPTS=""

# this is the distccd executable 
DISTCCD_EXEC="/usr/bin/distccd"

# this is where distccd will store its pid file
DISTCCD_PIDFILE="/var/run/distccd/distccd.pid"

# set this option to run distccd with extra parameters
# Default port is 3632.  For most people the default is okay.
DISTCCD_OPTS="${DISTCCD_OPTS} --port 7000"

# Logging
# You can change some logging options here:
# --log-file FILE
# --log-level LEVEL  [critical,error,warning, notice, info, debug]
#
# Leaving --log-file blank will log to syslog
# example: --log-file /dev/null --log-level warning
# example: --log-level critical

DISTCCD_OPTS="${DISTCCD_OPTS} --log-file /var/log/distccd.log --log-level critical"

# SECURITY NOTICE:
# It is HIGHLY recomended that you use the --listen option
# for increased security. You can specify an IP to permit connections 
# from or a CIDR mask
# --listen accepts only a single IP
# --allow is now mandatory as of distcc-2.18.
# example:  --allow 192.168.0.0/24
# example:  --allow 192.168.0.5 --allow 192.168.0.150
# example:  --listen 192.168.0.2
DISTCCD_OPTS="${DISTCCD_OPTS} --allow 192.168.1.0/24"
#DISTCCD_OPTS="${DISTCCD_OPTS} --listen 192.168.0.2"

# set this for niceness
# Default is 15
DISTCCD_OPTS="${DISTCCD_OPTS} -N 15"

Desktop's /etc/distcc/hosts

Code:

localhost morpheus

Server's /etc/conf.d/distccd

Code:

# /etc/conf.d/distccd: config file for /etc/init.d/distccd

# set this for niceness
# Default is 15
DISTCCD_OPTS="${DISTCCD_OPTS} -N 15"

Server's /etc/conf.d/hosts

Code:

localhost daedalus

I have no idea why it doesn't work. I hope you can help me.

Have you got the daemon running on both ?.

konqi · 01-03-2011, 04:07 PM

Yes offcourse I have the daemons running on both the desktop and the server.

Hi,

Quote:

#DISTCCD_OPTS="${DISTCCD_OPTS} --listen 192.168.0.2"

you'll have to enable the listen-option, the client listens to it's own IP-adress.

and check

Code:

nmap -p 3632 morpheus

if the port on the server is open. If you're using another port, you'll have to insert it in the nmap command.

It seems to work now, although I had to change the CFLAGS on both machines. I replace -march=native to -march=pentium4 -mtune=pentium4

I can't clearly see if the compiling goes any faster. I will try this later on the day by compiling the same program twice.

Sorry, I made a mistake, by posting twice.
