Hi,
I'm using Boost on Linux however for various reasons I need to rebuild parts of it occasionally. For other C/C++-based tools that are built with autoconf/automake, I've started to use ccache (_http://ccache.samba.org/_) to speed up recompilation. This is done simply by setting the CC / CXX environment variables to "ccache gcc" / "ccache g++" respectively. I have had a look through the Jam documentation but I can't see an easy way to achieve the same thing when building the Boost distribution. The closest I came was a bit on the trac that simply said I can add a new toolset, but had no real instructions as to how.
Thanks for any help!

An alternative to setting the environment variable is to use symbolic links. E.g. in my /usr/local/bin folder, I have c++ -> /usr/bin/ccache g++ -> /usr/bin/ccache gcc -> /usr/bin/ccache Regards, Roland
