Short: Advanced compiler cache Author: Andrew Tridgell (port by Steven Solie) Uploader: ssolie telus net (Steven Solie) Type: dev/gcc Version: 2.4-1 Architecture: ppc-amigaos SUMMARY ------- This is a self-contained port of the popular ccache compiler cache program for AmigaOS. Using ccache often results in a 5 to 10 times speedup in common compilations when recompiling a source tree. Why bother with a compiler cache? If you ever run "make clean; make" then you can probably benefit from ccache. It is very common for developers to do a clean build of a project for a whole host of reasons, and this throws away all the information from your previous compiles. By using ccache you can get exactly the same effect as "make clean; make" but much faster. For more information and documentation on ccache please visit the support web site at http://ccache.samba.org/ INSTALLATION ------------ Copy ccache SDK:Local/C CLONE Next either setup a home directory and the HOME environment variable or use the CCACHE_DIR to point to where ccache files and the cache itself will be stored. The cache defaults to 1 GB in size. To use with distcc it is suggested to set the CCACHE_PREFIX to distcc as explained in the original ccache documentation. HISTORY ------- 2.4-1 - fixed bugs in original code base - replaced fork() with AmigaOS specific solution - passes provided test suite - found bug in distcc when testing (fixed in distcc 2.18.3-7) - compiled with SDK 51.22 and clib2 1.200
