Bug 498160 – dev-util/ccache: please support versioned ${CHOST}-gcc-${PV} and friends, possibly integrate with sys-devel/gcc-config

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Michał Górny 2014-01-15 11:17:04 UTC]

For gcc-4.8.2, gcc-config creates the following files:

/usr/bin/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-c++
/usr/bin/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-c++-4.8.2
/usr/bin/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-g++
/usr/bin/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-g++-4.8.2
/usr/bin/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
/usr/bin/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc-4.8.2

I'd really appreciate if ccache-config would create symlinks for the versioned variants as well. I'm using those as CC & CXX to enforce version match for distcc.

i wonder if we should integrate this with gcc-config.  otherwise, ccache symlinks will constantly be out of date.

[Comment 2 Michał Górny 2014-01-15 17:58:43 UTC]

I'd even go for symlinking all available versions, possibly with update in pkg_postinst().

We should also consider distcc that needs to do something similar, though it also symlinks current $CC and $CXX which solves the intermediate issue for me.

This is fixed since dev-util/shadowman handles symlink updates.
