How do I point to experimental packages with fink? Or do I just checkout manually from CVS?
It should be safe. My colleague Carl Worth found out about it from Keith Packard (who is on the core XFree86 team and uses ccache all of the time). There could be bugs, but it is very unlikely that you would get a bogus object file. Basically, it md5sums cat of cc command line arguments and preprocessor output (including warnings), so include files aren't a problem. I definitely noticed an improvement the second time I built gnome. I have a 667 PowerBook G4 with 48G, so am short on CPU speed (compared to desktop) and long on disk space. You can set cache size, but I won't bother for a while. This link is: http://ccache.samba.org/ There was a script version before this that has a better faq that describes the techniques uses.
