A co-worker recently told me about a cool utility called ccache. It is a cc replacement command that caches your compiles globally (MD5 hashes source and command line arguments and stores object files in a cache directory in your home directory). Great for cvs builds with fink. Yes, it eventaully consumes lots of disk space, but it is worth a gig for me when gnome updates!
http://freshmeat.net/projects/ccache http://ccache.samba.org/ It isn't in fink yet. The brave can download tar.gz file (version 1.9) from URL above. And basically do the following commands. This requires some unix knowledge. > tar -xzvf ccache*.gz > cd ccache* > ./configure --prefix=/sw > make > sudo make install (enter password) > cd /sw/bin > sudo ln -s ccache cc > sudo ln -s ccache gcc The next time you build, it will use ccache. To get cache statistics, run ccache -s Cheers, Brian _____________________________________________________________ Brian Schott, Project Leader [EMAIL PROTECTED] USC Information Sciences Institute ph:703-812-3722 3811 North Fairfax Drive, Suite 200 fx:703-812-3712 Arlington, VA 22203 ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: OSDN - Tired of that same old cell phone?
