All,

I was wondering what coding tricks were needed to make this feature work.

I have this feature tuned on with XCode 1.5, but, when building freeware, such as Quake 2 ( complete with project file ), I don't see other machines pitching in on the work.

What may be wrong?

Max.

Don't. Unless it's a gigantically massive project (on the order of, say, Microsoft Office), the network overhead will kill any speed advantage.

You also need a really fast network connection. Not even 802.11g is fast enough for distributed builds (if you're trying to do it over wireless).
