1695829 - Need distributed toolchain archives to target Apple Silicon

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox Build System :: Toolchains, enhancement)

Description

[Markus Stange [:mstange]]

I have an M1 Mac and I would like to use my x64 Linux machine to speed up my builds even more. Do the current dist toolchains support this?

I'm not sure. For unrelated reasons I pushed https://treeherder.mozilla.org/jobs?repo=try&revision=1b87b6d390c8df8deab5cd401d37d7359aab1ce6; could you see if this clang-dist-toolchain archive works for you? (Just for the record, I can't make it -- or any other dist toolchain -- work for me compiling from Linux x86_64 -> macOS x86_64.) But this might save you a step of testing.

clang shouldn't need a change.

You can give a try to https://firefox-ci-tc.services.mozilla.com/api/queue/v1/task/B5d1tiroRruawVvyhEPuaw/runs/0/artifacts/public/build/rustc.tar.zst

I tried this but it didn't work; the sccache scheduler returned error 500 after assign_job timed out. I'm not sure when I'll have time to make a proper bug report.

Comment 8

[Markus Stange [:mstange]]

Oh, the error above was just about rust.

The existing clang toolchain is working great. sccache's CPU utilization, on the other hand, could be better.
