ccache to speed up builds

<< < (5/7) > >>

Jenna:
Using a script on linux works, if you either put it in the same place the real compiler resides (usually /usr/bin, needs root-rights) or add the directory with the script to the Additional paths in the Toolchain executables-tab.

for gcc I use ccache-gcc with the following content:

--- Code: ---#!/bin/sh
ccache gcc $@

--- End code ---

and for g++ I called my script ccache-g++:

--- Code: ---#!/bin/sh
ccache g++ $@

--- End code ---


No environment-variables needed.
don't forget to make the scripts executable (
--- Code: ---chmod +x <scriptname>
--- End code ---
[/b])

one way to check if its working with the CC=ccache gcc variable on windows is looking in c:\username\appdata\roaming if theres a .ccache folder there with a lot of odly named files in it then it works ;)

Hi Jens,

I got it working under Linux, the problem is with windows...

Thanks anyway,
Ken

There is only one file in that folder, called "stats".

Jenna:
ccache-gcc.bat:

--- Code: ---@echo off
ccache "gcc %*"

--- End code ---

ccache-g++.bat:

--- Code: ---@echo off
ccache "g++ %*"

--- End code ---

Put them into the system-path or MinGW's bin-folder should work.
I used the "Additional paths" in "Toolchain executables"-tab.
Tested on my virtual(kvm/qemu)-vista-system.
