 Posted: Tue Nov 09, 2004 6:04 am Post subject: Can't get genkernel to use distcc [RESOLVED] |
 |
|
I have distcc working properly with emerge and make, but I can't seem to get genkernel to use it. I have tried | Code: | | CC="distcc" genkernel all |
and | Code: | | genkernel --utils-cc="distcc" |
but it just uses gcc. My PATH variable is /bin:/usr/lib/distcc/bin:/usr/bin....
What am I missing?
Also, genkernel claims to be adding the new kernel to grub.conf, but doesn't actually do it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
EDIT: Oops. I missed the kernel-cc flag for genkernel. with kernel-cc and utils-cc set to distcc, it used it. As an aside, it doesn't look at make.conf for hosts, so I also had to manually set DISTCC_HOSTS.

| Distcc will not work with all compiles and I would think that the kernel is one of these. |

| i think the best solution would be to scrap genkernel alltogether. compiling your own kernel isnt hard at all. It may take a couple of tries to get it perfect, but its so much better to have your own kernel. Less problems in the long run. |

| Kernel compiles work fine with distcc when I do them manually and I have been able to use distcc with genkernel in the past. The issue is that genkernel just isn't using distcc. I can compile my own, but genkernel is a convenient tool for automating it. |
