How To Install icecream on Fedora 34

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install icecream on Fedora 34.

What is `icecream`

Icecream is a distributed compile system. It allows parallel compiling by distributing the compile jobs to several nodes of a compile network running the icecc daemon. The icecc scheduler routes the jobs and provides status and statistics information to the icecc monitor. Each compile node can accept one or more compile jobs depending on the number of processors and the settings of the daemon. Link jobs and other jobs which cannot be distributed are executed locally on the node where the compilation is started. icecream 1.3 4.fc34 x86_64 279 k icecream-1.3-4.fc34.src.rpm fedora Distributed compiler https GPLv2+ Icecream is a distributed compile system.
