[distcc] Errors while using DISTCC

[yudhistir reddy]

Hi,

I am new to DISTCC . I feel its great tool . I am just started exploring it
.

DISTCC used : distcc/3.1 version .

I am compiling source code on Linux (Ubuntu) machine . Distcc is
complaining for below errors

Issue 1 :
cc: error: unrecognized option '-G0'

Compiler tool chain is for powerpc . This is happening for other machine
arch also .

Just for info about -G0 option .
"-G num
Put definitions of externally-visible data in a small data section if
that data is no bigger than num bytes. GCC can then generate more efficient
accesses to the data; see -mgpopt for details.

The default -G option depends on the configuration."

If i donot use DISTCC then i donot see this error from compiler . I am
using gcc 4.2.1 compiler .



Issue 2:

gcc: cannot specify -o with -c or -S with multiple files .

I am getting this errror while generating the .bin for with mips64 compiler
.
I donot see this error without DISTCC .


Can you pls help me . Any help on this would be much appreciated .

How exactly are you invoking distcc?

Hi Fergus,

Thanks for reply . I am invoking the DISTCC as below . In my build system
file i mentioned as below

if ${WITH_DISTCC} == "yes"
CC ?= ${DISTCC} ${PATH TO GCC}gcc
.else
CC ?= ${PATH TO GCC}gcc
endif

where DISTCC points to a location it is installed . So just exploring how
it is compiling with DISTCC and without DISTCC .

build command is like "mk <target name> WITH_DISTCC=yes" .

sample command line :
<path/to/distcc>/3.1/bin/distcc <path/to/compiler>/mips64-gcc <command
line arguments>

Exactly what <command line arguments> are you passing in the cases when
distcc fails?

Which part of your build system is generating those '-G0' flags?

Which part of your build system is generating those '-o' and '-c'/'-S'
flags?

Hi Jan/Fergus,

Thanks for reply . Sorry for delay in replying back . I took some time to
understand distcc and our build system .
For Issues which mentioned in the first mail

Issue 1:
In this case we have parser perl script which generates the intermediate .c
file .

sample command : parser/gentree.pl -c <path>/distcc/3.1/bin/distcc
<path>/mips64/mips64-cpp -- -membedded-data -msoft-float <few more
arguments > -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -G 0 ...(few more arguments)

here gentree.pl file takes $CC as argument . But as i am using Distcc , so
my CC= ${DISTCC} ${CC} . So it got extra argument so throwing error . Only
for this parser file , i changed to compile on local host . So its fine now
.


Issue2 :

gcc: cannot specify -o with -c or -S with multiple files .

Again the way i invoke the distcc with gcc . So i changed only this file to
compile locally and its working fine .

sample command :
<path>/distcc/3.1/bin/distcc <path>/mips64/bin/mips64-gcc -nostdinc
-Wno-pointer-sign -Wno-error=address <few more compiler options> -c b.S
a.c && <path>/mips64/bin/mips64-ld -EB -G 8
<few more compiler options> -T<path>/ld.d.S b.o a.o -o target &&
<path>/mips64/bin/mips64-objcopy -R .reginfo -S -O binary -R .note -R
.comment target target.bin
