I post a message in CGAL (library that I use) mailing list and Andreas Meyer said: "These are for caching a whole translation unit and wont help for CGAL, because here, most programs only have one translation unit (one C file, which includes everything else)." What is your opinion?

First, one question? Is ccache > dependant on makefile. This is not good.... Well, it is dependent on users configuring their system to compile with ccache. Normally, this happen automatically when you use the symlink trick I wrote about earlier. In this case, however, your makefile is explicitely requesting a specific compiler: > CGAL_CXX = /usr/bin/g++ If you want to use ccache, you need to either: 1- change this to point to g++ without the path, and rely on the symlinks to pick up /usr/bin/ccache instead of /usr/bin/g++ 2- change this variable to invoke g++ through ccache: CGAL_CXX = /usr/bin/ccache /usr/bin/g++ Both of these methods are described in more details in the ccache manpage.
