#5 Re: Speeding up recompilation with ccache Posted by Steve (82.41.xx.xx) on Sat 30 Apr 2005 at 19:09 yes it's still useful with "make", partly because people tend to use "make clean" every now and again when developing. Also a lot of the time make will try to rebuild things that it doesn't need to. Also, consider the case when you download and install an application from source. Chances are there are a few files that are identical between foo-1.3, and foo-1.2 so you don't need to recompile those files again when upgrading.Steve -- Steve.org.uk
