[SOLVED] Compilation of Distcc CrossTools fails

Hi everybody,

I have a Vitrual machine with Arch Linux on it and I try to install Distcc Cross-Compilation tool to use it for speeding up compilation on my Raspberry Pi, which is also running Arch.
I follow this tutorial: http://archlinuxarm.org/developers/dist … -compiling
In the middle of compilation it fails with this errors in the log:

[CFG  ]    checking version of sed... 4.2.2, ok
[CFG  ]    checking for gawk... gawk
[CFG  ]    checking version of gawk... 4.1.0, ok

[CFG  ]    checking whether autoconf works... no

I have autoconf installed and it's in my PATH
make is the latest version (4.0) and when I was compiling the same stuff under Ubuntu with the same make version (4.0) it worked like charm.

There is no trace of this kind of problem in the "Known Issues".

P.s If I'm posting to wrong part of Forum, please redirect me to the right one.

Not sure what's going on there but have you considered just using the prebuilt x-tools? I personally use this https://github.com/WarheadsSE/PKGs/tree … tccd-alarm You just need to install the armv6h one for rpi and change the conf file and start the service. N.B the prebuilts are for x64 only

Thanks, I'll give it a try;) But It would be really helpful (at least for sake of education) to make this work.

Re: [SOLVED] Compilation of Distcc CrossTools fails

I had the same issue. I tried the solution proposed here: https://sourceware.org/ml/crossgcc/2014 … 00006.html. I edited the .config file updating the glibc from 2.18 to 2.19. It worked!
In addition I changed the linux version from 3.10 to 3.14. I'm currently running 3.14.4-1-ARCH....x86_64 GNU/Linux.
