The ccontrol program takes over the roles of the compiler and linker, and reads a configuration file to decide what to do before invoking them. This is particularly useful for centralized control over commands and options, such as enabling distcc(1) and ccache(1).

Recent releases


Release Notes: An infinite loop which occurred when ccache is used without distcc was fixed.


Release Notes: A GNOME applet for changing symlink was added. A portability fix was made to allow the software to work on PPC. Better performance and less thrashing is exhibited with ccache and distcc when ccache mostly hits.


Release Notes: This release fixes a bug where the config file wasn't reread if it was a symlink and was changed (the most common configuration).


Release Notes: Debian packaging and the config.status file were removed from the tarball.


Release Notes: You can now set environment variables, such as CCACHE_DIR.
