Hm. Are you saying you can run it only on the client? Oh, I can see it now! Preprocessing seems to be done on localhost only, and some compilation, too. Some is compiled on the server. I tried to remove 'distcc' and leaving only 'distcc-pump' in make.conf to force preprocessing to the server. With that, nothing shows up. Is there a way to offload the preprocessing to the server, and can compiling on localhost be avoided as much as possible somehow?
