I can't manage to get an icecc daemon to connect to the local icecc-scheduler from any machine running Fedora 20.
I've had no issues setting this up on 5 different Ubuntu 14.04 machines, and each can run the scheduler with no issue. In fact, it appears to work out of the box with no additional config on Ubuntu - simple install and play.
In those cases on Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install icecc
sudo service iceccd start
And on one of the machines
sudo service icecc-scheduler start
Then simply setting the path and building like so
export PATH=/usr/lib/icecc/bin:$PATH
make -j16
This is all that is needed to get the distributed compile working on Ubuntu as far as I can see.
On Fedora installing and starting I use
sudo yum install icecream.x86_64
sudo systemctl start iceccd
And compiling with
export PATH=/usr/libexec/icecc/bin:$PATH
make -j16
This doesn't distribute the compile. The icemon utility on the scheduler does not show any evidence of the fedora machine either and running a status on the iceccd service gives this error:
Jul 21 09:44:08 Fedora20 iceccd[4642]: [4642] 09:44:08: scheduler not yet found.
So far the only thing I've tried that might have been the issue is opening up the ports that the readme provides by adding them to the Zones->Ports part of Firewall Configuration , but this hasn't helped.
Maybe there is something I need to do on the Ubuntu schedular and daemons? Has anyone else had any luck with setting up icecream on Fedora 20?
For other future devs who might come here from google -
To get icecc working I edited the /usr/lib/systemd/system/icecc/iceccd-wrapper file by adding two arguments to the iceccd command.
-s <schedular> -m <number of jobs>
Then when running the following command
sudo systemctl start iceccd
The daemon starts up and is seen by the scheduler.
Remember the ports also need to be open!
