Hi,
I am running a distributed build under XCode 2.2
The build host is a PPC Mac Mini running OS10.4.8, the build client is
a i386 quad-core Mac Pro, running OS10.4.8. Both are using fast
ethernet connections on a quiet network.
The Mac Mini takes the same amount of time to do a build (16 minutes),
despite having the Mac Pro assigned in its distributed build settings,
and the Mac Pro making itself available for distributed builds.
Switching on verbose logging, the Mac Mini reports all source files
compiled on localhost.
How can I query the Mac Pro to see what, if any, requests for aid it's
receiving... ?

In the preferences under Distributed builds see if the other machine
appears. You have to run XCode (it must be the SAME version) and set
it to share it's resources, this will be in the same Distributed Builds
on the OTHER machine. When you do that it will appear as a resource in
the compiling machine's window. Also it will be apparent when this
works since you will see multiple modules compiling at once. With a
12" PowerBook 1GHz G4 and a Dual G4 533 shared this way I see 5 or 6
modules compiled at a time.
You probably will have to update your XCode to 2.4 to match the
other machine and there might be issues since it's an Intel machine and
your other is a PPC. I don't have any Intel's to test against so I
don't even know if it works. But if you set the machines up to share
resources you will see them but marked in RED as incompatible. If you
don't see the other machine then look into network problems. (Easy
check, can you see the other machine's iTunes library ?, this will
check Boujour connectivity which you need to make this work.)

Xcode's distcc-based distributed build system cannot distribute builds
across architectures. In other words, you can't distributed from a
PowerPC-baesd Mac to an Intel-based Mac or vice versa. My
understanding is that GCC's precompiled prefix format isn't
binary-compatible between the two architectures.

Thanks for the help. It seems it's the architecture that's the problem,
because my Mac Book and Mac Pro are happily distributing builds to one
another, as they're both i386. >> Stay informed about: Distributed builds under XCode |

You can't distribute builds between machines of different architectures. Your
entire build farm has to be PPC or Intel (but it can compile both PPC and Intel
versions of your code).
