ccache and kernel compilation -SOLVED

I have installed ccache and am compiling the kernel from the commandline, but can't get ccache working. Compiling takes a while, and ccache -s says there are no cached files. Read the wiki and man ccache, am a bit confused, and thought I had done what they suggested, but obviously not.

Can anyone help me set this up? Preferably I would like  all compiling to be done using ccache, not just using makepkg. I think I have to softlink ccache and gcc, not sure how to do this.

Happily, my custom compiled kernel boots fine, sound is the only thing not working.

Re: ccache and kernel compilation -SOLVED

If you do it through makepkg, you can have it handle all that stuff. I know that does not answer your question, but a PKGBUILD is imho preferrable if you are gonna keep a custom kernel.

Re: ccache and kernel compilation -SOLVED

I have discovered one of the cardinal rules for using Arch...if something doesn't work, check for typos.
ccache is working now,  makes kernel compiling so much easier.

I'm having a read finding out the pros/cons of using PKGBUILD for a custom kernel. Not too fussed, everything works and it boots ridiculously quickly.
