Okay, but is /usr/local/share/doc/ccache/ccache-howto-freebsd.txt still valid?
Such as :
To use ccache add the following to /etc/make.conf
.if !defined(NOCCACHE)
.if ${.CURDIR:M/usr/src*}
CC=/usr/local/libexec/ccache/cc
CXX=/usr/local/libexec/ccache/c++
.else
CC=cc
CXX=c++
.endif
.else
CC=/usr/bin/cc
CXX=/usr/bin/c++
.endif
I'm asking because I'm slightly confused (sorry) as some people tell me to not
put the block in /etc/make.conf. If I don't put anything, my .ccache folder
remains empty (therefore ccache not being used).
Whatever the real usage of ccache, it should be mentionned in that file, or
during 'make install' as a pkg-message.
Thanks,
Nicolas.
