(I am the Debian maintainer for ccache) This is a interesting suggestion Bogdan, but I'm not sure exactly how we could achieve that. If we were to add ccache to the gcc alternatives, it would be used whenever gcc is called.
However, how would ccache know which version of gcc it should use by default? We would probably need another alternative called "ccache-gcc" or something similar. But that would require the compiler packages to know about ccache and add themselves to that list as well. I'm open to suggestions, but at the moment, I think the best way to enable ccache is to add "/usr/lib/ccache" to the front of your path. If you want to enable it for all users by default, change the PATH variable in /etc/environment -- ccache should add a group of alternatives for cc, c++ and gcc https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/127376 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
