Description:

distcc is a program to distribute compilation of C or C++ code across
several machines on a network. distcc should always generate the same
results as a local compile, is simple to install and use, and is often
significantly faster than a local compile.

Unlike other distibuted build systems, distcc does not require all
machines to share a filesystem, have synchronized clocks, or to have
the same libraries or header files installed. Machines can be running
different operating systems, as long as they have compatible binary
formats or cross-compilers. distcc sends the complete preprocessed
source code across the network for each job, so all it requires of the
volunteer machines is that they be running the distccd daemon, and they
have an appropriate compiler installed.
