title: ccache and distcc
---

<p>
I wrote a quick wrapper program for <a href='http://www.richlowe.net/'>Richard (richlowe)</a>; it passes <a href='http://ccache.samba.org/'>ccache</a> and <a href='http://distcc.samba.org/'>distcc</a> on the command-line, along with whatever arguments you specify.  It's written in C to minimize shell invocation overhead. <a href='/download/ccdc.c'>Here's</a> the source.  Call  it as shorthand for the usual ccache, distcc, cc chain, like so: <code>gmake -j8 CC=ccdc</code>.
