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
Checkout, build, and install the distcc source
svn co svn://cdot.senecac.on.ca/distcc/trunk
cd trunk && ./configure && make && make install
Checkout the mozilla source. If you using the lastest version of trunk, than you are fine. If you are building 2.0.0.3 or below, you need to apply a silly patch.
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
