[distcc] where does preprocessing take place

[Lorenzo Bettini]

Hi

I've just started using distcc and in the manual you read that 
preprocessing (and linking) must take place on the local machine (while 
compilation and assembling can take place on remote machines).

However, if I run distccmon-text on the client it often shows something 
like the following (make -j 4)

Preprocess <file1.c>             <remote machine>[0]
Preprocess <file2.c>             <remote machine>[1]
Compile    <file3.c>              localhost[0]
Compile    <file4.c>              localhost[1]

does this mean that preprocessing takes place on the remote machine?

Or am I getting the output of distccmon-text wrong?

thanks in advance
