Title: How to use distcc with C::B?
Post by: Sorcerer on February 04, 2006, 09:58:39 am: Hello, i tried to use distcc with Codeblocks and I find no way to get it work.
I like to use the managed Projects and because of that i don't no how to
set the number of jobs distcc should use. (the -j parameter of make)
So my Question is: Is it possible to use distcc with CB's managed Projects?
If yes: How?

Sure. Make a copy of the MinGW compiler, create the batch file(s) as proposed in the other thread and setup the programs accordingly. Can be done in less than a minute... ;-)
With regards, Morten.

Post by: dwmcqueen on January 10, 2007, 04:24:57 pm: I think that is a good short-term solution. But I'd really like to see a "Distributed Compiling" option - sort of along the lines of what Xcode has (and Xcode uses a patched distcc to do this).
