Distcc takes care to only pass preprocessed source to remote hosts, and only distributes source->object compile requests, so you don't need FreeBSD headers or libraries on the other systems; just a cross-compiler. I can't help with setting up cross-compilers, but since there's a FAQ entry on it ( http://distcc.samba.org/faq.html#cross-compile ), doing what you want is certainly possible. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
