[edit] Using Icecream

[edit] Kubuntu

• modify ICECC_NETNAME and ICECC_SCHEDULER_HOST
• save and restart icecc: "/etc/init.d/icecc restart".

[edit] Gentoo

• Set ICECREAM_NETNAME and ICECREAM_SCHEDULER_HOST in /etc/conf.d/icecream
• type "/etc/init.d/icecream start" to start the daemon.

[edit] General use

To use icecream with normal GNU Make, all that you have to do is just override the path to gcc/g++.

export PATH=[your-path-to-icecc]/bin:$PATH

When using GNU make, give -j option to build parallel.

make -j# (# is number of jobs)
