= Project Description =
The goal of this project is to speed up Windows Mozilla Builds by spreading object compilations over several machines. This can be done by using an open source product called distcc created by Martin Pool. Unfortunately this is only available on *nix machines using gcc. Our project involves porting this software to Windows and use [http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/ Microsoft's Visual C++ compiler] using cygwinand msys.

== Current Status ==
* distcc seems to be distributing, but something is not working on the server side which is causing distcc to fallback to localhost. This problem has not been solved as of Dec 7, 2006.
* Some of the Test Cases may be incorrect. Neither Tom nor Cesar have extensive experience in CL options. So it may not distribute when it should, or it may distribute when it shouldn't.
