cmake -DBUNDLE_JSON=ON -DBUNDLE_EIGN3=ON -DPythonModular=ON -DENABLE_TESTING=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/somewhere ..

-- Found SWIG: /usr/bin/swig2.0 (found suitable version "2.0.4", required is "2.0.4")
/usr/bin/ccache: invalid option -- 'd'
Usage:
ccache [options]
ccache compiler [compiler options]
compiler [compiler options](via symbolic link)

Options:
-c, --cleanup delete old files and recalculate size counters
(normally not needed as this is done automatically)
-C, --clear clear the cache completely
-F, --max-files=N set maximum number of files in cache to N (use 0 for
no limit)
-M, --max-size=SIZE set maximum size of cache to SIZE (use 0 for no
limit; available suffixes: G, M and K; default
suffix: G)
-s, --show-stats show statistics summary
-z, --zero-stats zero statistics counters

-h, --help            print this help text
-V, --version         print version and copyright information

yes we know this (or at least I) and this has been known by ubuntu developers as well (there's even a bug about this on lunchpad). there's not too much we can do about this... in newer ubuntus this has been fixed.
i'd close this bug...

Let's write something about it in the install instructions. Maybe something like known issues and that to fix it one has simply to do cmake -DENABLE_CCACHE=OFF

[sonney2k]

or can we detect this version of ccache and then just disable it?

Workaround is here thus moving to next version.
