I use Xcode 7.3, distcc 3.2 plug-in installed, but seemed have no effect. I can find compile task on monitor view, but the compile task could not distributed to another machine.

Hello, Once you install it, in the build settings of your project/target you need to change the compiler from Apple LLVM to "Distcc 3.2". That will make it use the distributed compilation. Anyway make sure you have same versions for Clang and the SDKs on the machines you want linked together.

I am facing similar issue. Clang and SDK versions are same for 2 Macbooks. I am on Xcode8 and Distcc 3.2 is selected in both project's compiler ssettings.

It has been a while since I last tried the Xcode compiler plugin as I work on UE4 full-time, which has its own build system and thus doesn't use the Xcode plugin. It could be that more recent versions of Xcode added new compiler arguments by default that distcc doesn't understand well enough to distribute the compile job. I'm not really able to provide a lot of support for this aspect of DistCode right now, you will probably need to take a look at the command-line Xcode is trying to execute and then check that the distcc compiler wrapper understands all the arguments, which means taking a look at the code yourself.
