The following issue has been SUBMITTED. ====================================================================== http://busybox.net/bugs/view.php?id=1282 ====================================================================== Reported By: Franck78 Assigned To: buildroot ====================================================================== Project: buildroot Issue ID: 1282 Category: Architecture Specific Reproducibility: always Severity: feature Priority: normal Status: assigned ====================================================================== Date Submitted: 03-21-2007 11:56 PDT Last Modified: 03-21-2007 11:56 PDT ====================================================================== Summary: ccache Description: Hello, 1) ccache is built at the end of the toolchain (gcc/uclibc/binutils). It serves for nothing (ok I except if you slected other package it may...). 2) the ccache_dir is fixed inside 'toolchain_build_i486' It would be better if the CCACHE_DIR could be setup somewhere else outside 'buildroot'. Why? In automated procedure constructing distro, buildroot.tar.gz is expanded then configured then built as all other packages making the distro. It means everytime, buildroot dir is like a virgin.. ;-) No ccache_dir inside. but if ccache_dir is outside....ok, it will be preserved accross rebuilds and the final touch would have ccache used for ALL the toolchain construction...! Adding a new option in 'make menuconfig' is beyond my knowledge of buildroot for now.
