Out of curiousity, has anyone tried this: http://ccache.samba.org/
on cygwin? It seems to provides an amazing speedup for compilations. It builds OOTB. On linux, this makes my cygwin builds so fast, that it almost seems like I could get rid of dependency checking and just always rebuild everything. cgf sdesc: "A C compiler cache for improving recompilation" ldesc: "ccache is a compiler cache. It acts as a caching pre-processor to C/C++ compilers, using the -E compiler switch and a hash to detect when a compilation can be satisfied from cache. This often results in a 5 to 10 times speedup in common compilations." category: Devel requires: gcc
