According to google there are a couple of (pretty dead) forks that claim to port ccache to windows: <http://gitorious.org/ccache-win> <http://code.google.com/p/ccache-win32/> Perhaps someone can see if the patches from those two forks can be updated to work in the current ccache. <http://code.google.com/p/ccache-win32/wiki/WhyNativeWin32Ccache> There is also something called clcache.py: <https://github.com/frerich/clcache> See also: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=689157 Bug 689157 - Add support for building with clcache/ccache on Windows RESOLVED FIXED I've never tried any of them so caveat emptor.
