[distcc] Re: How split c++ passes for MacOS X CrossCompiler

[Dara Hazeghi]

Hello,

if you want to use cross-compilation/distcc to target
MacOS X, you'll most likely have to use Apple's
sources. Also, FSF gcc, pre 3.1, doesn't support MacOS
X. As noted, you can't mix and match compiler
versions. This is particularly true of Apple vs FSF
releases (Apple 3.1 and FSF 3.1 are most likely
incompatible for objc/c++ code).

I had a fair bit of luck about a year ago using
Apple's gcc 3.1 on Linux as a cross compiler (source
from publicsource.apple.com).

Other possibility is of course to build 3.2 or 3.3 on
your Mac as well, and use that. Of course, the issue
of objc/c++ code mixing with Apple's compiler are
probably still there.

Hope that helps,

Dara

P.S. BTW, how did you manage to build a cross-compiler
to darwin? I've never gotten the process to work fully.
