distcc usage

[ghost]

Hey, I'd like to use distcc with hyclone.

My idea'd be to put hyclone with gcc and distcc in a docker linux container thing on a local server on the network.

Is hyclone expected to theoretically support this kind of setup at the moment?

gcc is known to work correctly on HyClone ever since the earliest versions, since it is a calculation heavy application (some VFS syscalls, fork, and exec are the only calls needed).

AFAIK distcc is also a cross-platform POSIX-based application. If that's the case, theoretically it is also supported. However, network-related applications have not been heavily tested yet. There might be a few socket-related operations/options not properly translated to Linux yet, but doing it is relatively simple provided that the functionality exists both on Linux and Haiku.
