Preliminaries: 1) You probably want to run gcc-cross on i386-sid. So if the host does not run i386-sid, install a i386-sid chroot. (I do not have experience with gcc-cross on amd64-sid or i386-sarge, so if you want to stay in known territories, stay with that. I know gcc used to have issue crosscompiling between 64bit and 32bit but this was a long time ago.) 2) You probably want to use a private network to communicate with the m68k machine for security reason. So I will assume the amd64 run i386-sid and there is a private network 10.10.0.0/24 between amd64 and m68k box. amd64 has IP 10.10.0.2, m68k has IP 10.10.0.101. On the amd64: 1) apt-get install distcc 2) edit /etc/default/distcc this way; STARTDISTCC="true" ALLOWEDNETS="10.10.0.101" LISTENER="10.10.0.2" (NOTE: that will _not_ allow the amd64 to use the distcc client) 3) /etc/init.d/distcc start (if you use a chroot, arrange for distcc to be started when the machine reboot) 4) Install gcc-cross. The packages are in the tarball <http://people.Debian.org/~ballombe/m68k/cross-4.1.1-20.tgz> and you also need <http://people.Debian.org/~ballombe/m68k/binutils-m68k-linux-gnu_2.17-3_i386.deb> (note: they are for sid-i386 and they are "dependent" packages: they depend gcc-4.1-base (= 4.1.1-20). I can rebuild them for sid-amd64 if you want) In the m68k _buildd_chroot_: 1) install distcc 2) install crosscc from Roman Zippel. 3) export DISTCC_HOSTS=10.10.0.2 gcc -c hello.c Check /var/log/distccd.log on the amd64 4) I suggest to add to your .sbuildrc $build_env_cmnd = "env DISTCC_HOSTS=10.10.0.2 "; So DISTCC_HOSTS is set up correctly when building packages. I hope I did not forget anything. Cheers, -- Bill. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Imagine a large blue swirl here. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
