 +====== CCache ====== 
 +Using ccache can speed up rebuilds a lot. When set up, it caches the binary objects as applications are built, and later it copies those objects back, instead of having to recompile them. 
 + 
 +Slackware comes with ccache. 
 + 
 +To start using it, get root and:\\ 
 +cd /usr/local/bin\\ 
 + 
 +ln -s /usr/bin/ccache cc\\ 
 +ln -s /usr/bin/ccache c++\\ 
 +ln -s /usr/bin/ccache gcc\\ 
 +ln -s /usr/bin/ccache g++\\ 
 + 
 +To set a max size for the cache, use EG:\\ 
 +ccache -M 5G\\ 
 +That sets a max size of 5GB in ~/.ccache\\ 
 +You obviously need to set it for your needs and available space.\\ 
 + 
 +To see some info about ccache, do:\\ 
 +ccache -s\\ 
 + 
 +To temporarily turn it off:\\ 
 +CCACHE_DISABLE=1\\ 
 +can be put in a SlackBuild or exported in the shell.\\ 
 +If that fails to work then just move the symlinks out of /usr/local/bin 
 + 
 +and don't forget to read the man page.
