Re: distcc & dpkg-buildpackage



Thanks very much for the info. Spot on. I've now got it working.

In addition to editing "debian/rule", I discovered using "CONCURRENCY_LEVEL" instead of "-j" is advised (necessary)?

Is anyone successfully using "distcc" with "dpkg-buildpackage"?

I tried:
---
MAKE="make -j4" CC=distcc DISTCC_HOSTS="localhost kas" dpkg-buildpackage
---
but "distcc" wasn't used : (

Frequently the package's build scripts will override anything you set
for things like CC and CFLAGS. If the overriding takes place in
debian/rules (most of the time it does), you can simply edit
debian/rules before running dpkg-buildpackage. If it takes place in
the actual Makefiles, though, either you've got to do a lot of tedious
editing, or you can do something gross but functional like making
/usr/bin/gcc a wrapper around the real compiler.
