To use ccache for ports, just add WITH_CCACHE_BUILD=yes to
/etc/make.conf. The rest of this guide is for building
/usr/src and other checkouts.

To use ccache for base (11.0+) just add WITH_CCACHE_BUILD=yes
to /etc/src.conf.  Refer to src.conf(5) for more information.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For older releases, before 11.0, add the following to /etc/make.conf.
You can replace cc and c++ with the compilers of your choice.
(remember that only GCC and Clang can build world and kernel)

.if (!empty(.CURDIR:M/usr/src*) || !empty(.CURDIR:M/usr/obj*))
.if !defined(NOCCACHE) && exists(%%PREFIX%%/%%CCLINKDIR%%/world/cc)
CC:=${CC:C,^cc,%%PREFIX%%/%%CCLINKDIR%%/world/cc,1}
CXX:=${CXX:C,^c\+\+,%%PREFIX%%/%%CCLINKDIR%%/world/c++,1}
.endif
.endif

For Korn/Bourne shells Add the following to /etc/profile:
 export PATH=%%PREFIX%%/%%CCLINKDIR%%:$PATH
 export CCACHE_PATH=/usr/bin:%%LOCALBASE%%/bin

For csh/tcsh Add the following to /etc/csh.cshrc:
 setenv PATH %%PREFIX%%/%%CCLINKDIR%%:$PATH
 setenv CCACHE_PATH /usr/bin:%%LOCALBASE%%/bin

For icc users:
 Add %%ICCPREFIX%% to CCACHE_PATH

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To use distcc:

For Korn/Bourne shells Add the following to /etc/profile:
 export CCACHE_PREFIX=distcc
 export DISTCC_HOSTS="localhost host1 host2"

For csh/tcsh Add the following to /etc/csh.cshrc:
 setenv CCACHE_PREFIX distcc
 setenv DISTCC_HOSTS "localhost host1 host2"

--

If you have a problem building world
define NOCCACHE and try again.

If you have a problem building a port
reset PATH=$CCACHE_PATH and try again.

--

Make sure you run 'ccache-update-links' after you install/uninstall
additional compilers in order to create/remove compiler links.

Ccache's default cache size is 1GB and this is larger than the default size of
the root partition (/) on FreeBSD. To over come this you may specify a new
cache location on a different partition with the following examples.

For Korn/Bourne shells Add the following to /etc/profile:
 export CCACHE_DIR=/usr/.ccache

For csh/tcsh Add the following to /etc/csh.cshrc
 setenv CCACHE_DIR "/usr/.ccache"
