ccache and cachecc1

do you spend too much time waiting for your compiler to do its work!? maybe these two could help you

I finally decided to use the cachecc1 (instead of ccache) at my debian ( xubuntu ) since i did not want to touch at all my makefile nor to make alias or links of the developer tools.

Both tools seem quite effective, and maybe you feel more comfortable with ccache, but to me cachecc1 archives the gain i was looking for. So far, compiling time has been dropped to 1/3th, which to me, a compulsive "make_all'er" is quite a lot during the day.

The true is that i build the tool, and did NOT work (here at edgy), but i did find a .deb package linked from the cachecc1 page, and it worked out-of-the-box. How nice.

Update: I've compiled, installed and used it a FC4 ( vmware image ) successfully
