distcc Description

Distcc is a system designed for distributed compilation that speeds up the build process for C, C++, Objective-C, and Fortran by distributing compile tasks across various networked machines. This tool works effectively with both GCC and Clang toolchains, seamlessly intercepting compiler commands and redistributing them to remote daemons while maintaining optimization settings, include directories, and tracking of dependencies. The architecture is client-server based, featuring a lightweight listener that oversees job queues, prioritizes local compilation as necessary, and easily identifies available hosts through straightforward configuration or DNS. Additionally, Distcc accommodates cross-compilation setups, offers SSH tunneling for secure clusters, allows for the blacklisting of unreliable servers, and integrates well with modern build systems such as Make, CMake, and Ninja. It also includes monitoring tools that supply real-time data on job distribution and performance, and its compatibility with compilation databases (compdb) permits detailed management of distributed workloads. Overall, Distcc is a powerful solution that significantly enhances build efficiency across diverse development environments.
