Oh, the setup I was thinking of would be similar to how icecc works now, on a local network. So, for example, N developers in the Berlin office sharing a scheduler and build resources in the same network. I'm not 100% sure whether the distributed compilation part of sccache is only about sharing compilation artifacts, or also compiling stuff in remote machines (like icecc does), or both, but afaik even in a local network it could still be a pretty nice build-time / productivity improvement. -- Emilio > On Mon, Apr 1, 2019 at 12:23 PM Emilio Cobos Álvarez <emi...@crisal.io> > wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> Over in #layout people were ranting about how much of a pain it was to >> set up icecc on MacOS.
