Neat! I remember using [something similar][1] at a previous job. [1]: https://github.com/icecc/icecream

Related: https://github.com/icecc/icecream - another option that does what distcc does, but aimed at a somewhat different use case. https://ccache.dev/ - a similar idea but provides caching of build outputs instead of distributing builds.…

If you like distcc, did you ever give icecc a try? https://github.com/icecc/icecream I never had the time to set it up properly, but by the looks of it, it should be even better.

is this the icecream you speak of? https://github.com/icecc/icecream I've never heard of it so I was intrigued.

…should be without https://ccache.dev/ , and after that, distcc https://distcc.github.io/ , icecream https://github.com/icecc/icecream , and goma https://chromium.googlesource.com/infra/goma/ may be used for distributing the workload.

If you like distcc, perhaps you'd also like icecream https://github.com/icecc/icecream which I think is a bit easier to use.

This appears to be referring to a distcc derivative https://github.com/icecc/icecream Note that discc doesn't really solve the header problem, it just throws more compute at it.

…that in a scalable way, although I've personally only used it locally for my Rust builds. [0]: https://github.com/icecc/icecream [1]: https://github.com/mozilla/sccache

Icecc (an old distcc fork) also distributes the toolchain, to avoid that particular problem. https://github.com/icecc/icecream

1) I not maintain icecream https://github.com/icecc/icecream/ I didn't start it, I took it over because the other maintainers moved on and I badgered them enough with about a couple patches that they made me maintainer. (theoretically they…
