It works for me. But I don't know why you're connecting to the distcc server here, it's a distributed compilation and xmake service --connect shouldn't be trying to connect to it by default.

You can try to remove .xmake and build directory and connect it again.

Sorry for the mistake, my remote build port is wrong. remote build works now.

The distcc is what i truly want to use, remote build is just a test.

But another question, when i connect to distcc server.
the distcc server dosn't give eny log after run xmake.

but i got xmake build utitly keep running for long time.

the log pause at

D:\test\hello

no log on server side.

The distcc server was not connected successfully. Maybe the ip and port are not correct.

[zeroxer]

Ip and port is right, because it was conneted.

I use localhost/127.0.0.1 to test. It doesn't work either.

Connect Step

Client

λ xmake service --connect --distcc -vD
<client>: connect 127.0.0.1:9693 ..
{
  token = "f2761fb3569c3e5e423658e8c60d1498",
  status = true,
  njob = 18,
  code = 1,
  ncpu = 16,
  session_id = "691419ee",
  xmakever = "2.9.2"
}

<client>: 127.0.0.1:9693 connected!

Server

λ xmake service --distcc -vD
<distcc_build_server>: listening 0.0.0.0:9693 ..
<distcc_build_server>: <socket: tcp4/980.0>: session connected
<distcc_build_server>: <socket: tcp4/980.0>: <session 691419ee>: on handle message(1)
{ 
  session_id = "691419ee",
  code = 1,
  xmakever = "2.9.2",
  token = "f2761fb3569c3e5e423658e8c60d1498" 
}

<distcc_build_server>: <socket: tcp4/980.0>: <session 691419ee>: send ok
<distcc_build_server>: <socket: tcp4/980.0>: session end
