1- Create a directory to add to your path. For example: mkdir /home/mahmood/bin 2- Add it to the FRONT of your path: export PATH=/home/mahmood/bin:$PATH 3- Create symlinks of your compiler name into that directory. For example: ln -s /usr/bin/ccache /home/mahmood/bin/c++ ln -s /usr/bin/ccache /home/mahmood/bin/cc ln -s /usr/bin/ccache /home/mahmood/bin/cpp ln -s /usr/bin/ccache /home/mahmood/bin/g++ ln -s /usr/bin/ccache /home/mahmood/bin/g++-4.2 ln -s /usr/bin/ccache /home/mahmood/bin/gcc ln -s /usr/bin/ccache /home/mahmood/bin/gcc-4.2 ln -s /usr/bin/ccache /home/mahmood/bin/i486-linux-gnu-g++ ln -s /usr/bin/ccache /home/mahmood/bin/i486-linux-gnu-gcc ln -s /usr/bin/ccache /home/mahmood/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-g++ ln -s /usr/bin/ccache /home/mahmood/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc (You may need to create extra symlinks if your make file is calling any other gcc binary.) Then, when you run gcc or g++, it should use ccache instead. The "which" command will show you whether or not that's the case: $ which gcc /home/mahmood/bin/gcc Francois
