Have tried that......but its the xbox that keeps failing with "Assembler errors" when compiling. Somehow, when that happens, the whole disk turns to a read only filesystem, and i need to reboot inorder to try again, but it fails all the time (usually after waiting 6 hrs). Its not a disk space issue, not a drive issue (this is a test xbox and i have multiple drives here) nor IDE issue (have replaced the cable). I get no relevant errors except "Assembler errors"<br>
<br>After months of trying EVERYTHING i could come up with, now i want to try to compile on another computer<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Mar 11, 2008 at 3:07 PM, Robert Johnston <<a href="mailto:anaerin@gmail.com">anaerin@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br>

</div>An alternative could be to make sure your linux box/VM and XBox have<br>
the same version of GCC, then use DistCC to have the main PC do most<br>
of the heavy lifting. This also has the advantage that the more<br>
machines you can spare, the faster the compile goes.<br>
<br>
So, something like:<br>
<br>
DISTCC_HOSTS="VM1 VM2 VM3 localhost" make -j8<br>
<br>
Would get DistCC to send tasks to VM1,2 and 3 before the local xbox<br>
tries to compile, and will run 8 compile tasks simultaneously.<br>
<br>
It's tres handy.<br>
