It serves for nothing (ok I except if you slected other package it may...). 2) the ccache_dir is fixed inside 'toolchain_build_i486' It would be better if the CCACHE_DIR could be setup somewhere else outside 'buildroot'. Why? In automated procedure constructing distro, buildroot.tar.gz is expanded then configured then built as all other packages making the distro. It means everytime, buildroot dir is like a virgin.. ;-) No ccache_dir inside. but if ccache_dir is outside....ok, it will be preserved accross rebuilds and the final touch would have ccache used for ALL the toolchain construction...! Adding a new option in 'make menuconfig' is beyond my knowledge of buildroot for now.

Please describe the problem you are facing and suggest what should be done why and how, i shall close this bug otherwise. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Franck78 - 06-25-07 11:38 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ok, A distro is something more complete than buildroot alone. The buildroot package is only 'one step among others'. The full build can follow some method like lfs (linux from scratch). Having ccache dir outside of the tree build avoid loosing what have been already compiled when some kind of full rebuild of the distro is performed. In other words, the cachedir is in a safe configurable place. tchuss.
