[yudhistir reddy]

Hi Martin,

Thank you so much for your reply and its cool to know that it will work on
bmake .  Please see my comments inline with [Yudhi]

> (1) Can we use this tool with bmake . We use bmake .

If by bmake you mean <http://www.crufty.net/help/sjg/bmake_1.htm> then
apparently yes. Let us know if it works.

[Yudhi ]-  Yes i am using the bmake which you mentioned .

I untarred this distcc-3.1 and running below command to install  < following
this link  http://distcc.samba.org/index.html  >

./configure && make && sudo make install

I am installing the distcc at my home location in server .

Error at the end of installation :
Snippet
>>>
After installing distcc, please complete the survey in the file
"survey.txt".

"Makefile", line 481: Need an operator
make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue
<<<<

When i checked the 481 line of Makefile it refers to the dependency file
with below line

# Grab the dependency files generated by gcc's -MD option.
-include */*.d

Is this error need to be resolved or is it ok to procced with remaing part
of install ?


 (2) what would be the steps i should follow to install this tool . I did
not

On Debian/Ubuntu, 'sudo apt-get install distcc'.  If you're on BSD
(where bmake seems popular?) it's probably in the ports collection and
could be installed through there.  Which OS are you using?

[Yudhi] - I am using Freebsd .

Yudhistir
