ccache to speed up builds

unfortunatly not atleast untill some adds the option to codeblocks :/ using a batch file as a wrapper causes codeblocks to spit out invalid compiler [YOUR ANSWER IS ALREADY THERE. SEARCH THE FORUMS!] errors but i suspect you could do it from inside the project properties by defining CC=ccache gcc to the preprocessor variables. same goes for g++ ;)

Sorry, I'm still confused.
As you said:

So, what's the exact steps I should do?

1, I just copy ccache.exe to the mingw/bin
2, I create a console project by Codeblocks' project wizard.
3, then, what should I do? Do I need to do some hack on the project build options?? or other modifications on project properties??? I have just add a Custom variables : CC = "ccache gcc", but it does Noting...

pretty much ;) its not visible but try a larger project and notice the compile times if it works it should compile quite a lot faster :)

a way to check if its working is to show hidden files in explorer then navigate to user\your name\AppData\Roaming And look for a folder named .ccache if its there it works :).

a god project to try it out on could be codeblocks itself because of its size you should notice some better compile times. codeblocks is c++ though so the variable would be CXX="ccache g++".

ollydbg:
I just change the Menu-settings-compiler and debugger-Tool chain executes -
I change the
C++ compiler from

to

--- Quote ---ccache.exe mingw32-g++.exe
--- End quote ---

But still can't get things to work.

With the ccache.exe from your ftp site ftp://90.184.233.166:21/ccache.exe
It works!!

Here is the build log:

--- Quote ----------------- Build: Debug in test_cc_cache ---------------

with the ccache.exe from another link: http://ramiro.arrozcru.org/ ccache-win32-1.exe

I get the error log below:
