What is this?
This is a tutorial to get distcc to compile Mozilla Firefox on cygwin.
Requirements
- Window machines. For distcc to be of any use, there should be at least 2 machines
- Cygwin. You will need gcc to build distcc. We built using gcc-3.4.4
- Mozilla requirements
- Patience
Check out and build
TODO : NOTE THE PATCH FOR FIREFOX 2.0 BUILDS
Checkout, build, and install the distcc source
svn co svn://cdot.senecac.on.ca/distcc/trunk
./configure && make && make install
MOZCONFIG
Currently, distcc does not transmit debug .pdb files. So you cannot currently do a debug build. Here is a sample MOZCONFIG file. All you need to do is modify the object directory (MOZ_OBJDIR).
Note the last line, which is required for any MOZCONFIG file that wants to build using distcc.
mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=/cygdrive/c/home/cesar/mozobj ac_add_options --enable-application=browser ac_add_options --enable-optimize ac_add_options --disable-debug ac_add_options --enable-debugger-info-modules=no mk_add_options MOZ_CO_PROJECT=browser mk_add_options MOZ_MAKE_FLAGS="CC='distcc cl' CXX='distcc cl' -j4"
Environment
The only required environment variable is DISTCC_CL_HOSTS, which contain a space delimited list of all slave machines. You must set this variable on the master machine (the machine that contains the source code).
Example : export DISTCC_CL_HOSTS="localhost 10.0.0.2 10.0.0.4
Distcc Daemon
Start the distcc daemon. The only thing you need to change is who is allowed to use the daemon. You can use space-delimited list of ip addresses, or specify the CIDR mask of an entire subnet.
distccd --allow "10.0.0.0/24" --daemon'
