[distcc] precompiled headers and g++ -E

[Greg Szeszko (TT)]

Thanks.  This option must be new in GCC4.x.  I am using 3.4.3 and it
doesn't know anything about -fpch-preprocess.  Is there anything in
3.4.3 that can be used to achieve the same goal?

Greg

Look at the option -fpch-preprocess described here:
