After I upgraded using a clean install from OS X 10.5 to 10.6.2 and upgraded the XCode to 3.2.1 I wasn’t able to use distributed builds feature anymore.
There are several issues that I detected:
- In most cases Bonjour is not detecting the other computers even they are on the same switch.
- I added a custom ‘set’ where I added manually the IP addreses of each computer. Even so I still get status: “unreachable” on them.BTW, ping does work without problems.
Both share my computer for shared workgroup builds (distcc) and distribute builds via shared workgroup builds options are checked.
Apple just release XCode 3.2.2 that is solving this problem. If you cannot upgrade you should try the workaround How to make distributed builds using XCode 3.2 on OS X 10.6
