Icecream is a software suite that allows you to build up a compile cluster. The goal is to speed up compiling by distributing the jobs over several computers. To do that, you need one compile-driver (the scheduler) and one or more slaves (daemons).

Install it

To install icecream on SUSE, enter into a konsole:

yast -i icecream icecream-monitor

Run it

On every slave, start the daemon:

export PATH=/opt/icecream/bin:$PATH
iceccd -d

On your driver, start the scheduler:

export PATH=/opt/icecream/bin:$PATH
scheduler -d
