[distcc] [HELP] distcc fails to distribute. Missing configuration?

[Berthin Torres Callañaupa]

Hi,

I am testing distcc with a small project using Makefiles, and basically I have a rule to compile the source files like:

$(OBJ_DIR)/%.o : $(OBJ_DIR)/%.c
      gcc -Wall -c $< -o $@

and then from what I’ve seen, to use distcc is just a matter of adding “distcc” as a prefix, so my recipe changed to:
$(OBJ_DIR)/%.o : $(OBJ_DIR)/%.c
      distcc gcc -Wall -c $< -o $@

However, I keep getting errors, and I don’t know what exactly I am doing wrong.

I posted this question in StackOverflow ( https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60238207/configuring-distcc-for-makefiles ), but looks like the distcc community is not that active. So, I am wondering if you can help me out.

One additional test I did was to use CMake to create the makefiles and it worked using distcc, then I looked the generated makefiles but I don’t see why it works while my Makefile doesn’t.

Thanks,
Berthin
