g++, colorgcc and ccache

Question

Trying to combine ccache and colorgcc. Following link text:

• my g++ is soft link to colorgcc
• ~/.colorgccrc contains line: \"g++: ccache /usr/bin/g++\"

Answer 1

As others have already said, it is a matter of setting up paths and symbolic links.

Follow the invaluable Arch guide on this.

I do this so many times and is such a tricky setup that I ended up setting up a docker wrapper with the right configuration.

In short, use this alias

alias mmake='docker run --rm -v "$(pwd):/src" -t ownyourbits/mmake'

and do mmake instead of make
