Distcc – distribute builds across multiple machines simultaneously

• sccache

  70 5,319 9.5 Rust

  Sccache is a ccache-like tool. It is used as a compiler wrapper and avoids compilation when possible. Sccache has the capability to utilize caching in remote storage environments, including various cloud storage options, or alternatively, in local storage.

  

- distributed compilation on Windows by cross compiling on Linux machines (unique afaik)

Note that I think bazel also does a bunch of these, but you need to use bazel as your build system.

Running it locally will always be faster as long as your machine is not a bottleneck (#cores, ram, ...). I think the use-case for distcc et al is to enable less-powerful machines to run builds faster by levering other machines. That’s exactly what we use it for at work. Our developers have not-so-powerful laptops and with distcc/icecc they can utilize the power of our build agents in the server room.

  Distributed compiler with a central scheduler to share build load (by icecc)

  

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