I am not able to set up Ccache on Windows using Cygwin.
What do i want to do ? I want to install CCache on a Windows PC so i could use it to compile C and C++ projects.
I have almost no Knowledge about C/C++ and the whole GCC/G++ Compiler thing.
main sources for my approaches:
- https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ccache
- http://charette.no-ip.com:81/programming/2016-02-07_CCache/index.html
- https://askubuntu.com/questions/470545/how-do-i-set-up-ccache
Ccache is made for Unix-systems only so in order to get the bash commands i installed Cygwin for windows.
I have also installed MinGW32 on my C:/ drive.
In Cygwin I installed the following packages: (View: Picked)
- autoconfig 13-1
- ccache 3.1.9-2
- ccache-debuginfo 3.1.9-2
- fish 2.7.0-1
- gcc-tools-epoch2-autoconf 2.64-2
- gperf 3.1-1
- libgcc1 7.4.0-1
- make 4.2.1-2
- mingw64x86_64-gcc-core 7.4.0-1
- mingw64x86_64-gcc-debuginfo 7.4.0-1
- mingw64x86_64-gcc-g++ 7.4.0-1
After the installation i can use "ccache -V" inside Cygwin and it tells me i got version 3.1.9
according to the tutorials i am following i should get:
/usr/lib/ccache/gcc
/usr/lib/ccache/g++
if i type the command: "which gcc g++".
But i am getting as default the following:
/cygdrive/c/mingw/bin/gcc
/cygdrive/c/mingw/bin/g++
So i wanted to change the path.
But the structure of ccache inside cygwin seems to be way different then it is when you install it with sudo on a unix machine.
I cant find any gcc or g++ compilers inside ccache or at all in cygwin.
But ccache is also not at usr/lib/ccache in cygwin. If i type in "which ccache" it gives me the path usr/bin/ccache.
I am out of ideas and it seems like i just dont have enough knowledge about C compilers in general to get an idea of what to do / where to search.
