(In reply to Ricky Stewart from comment #13) > Note that sccache is recommended over ccache. I've updated the docs at https://wiki.developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Developer_guide/Build_Instructions/ccache accordingly. Thanks, I was wondering what the sccache thing in ~/.mozbuild was about. I've switched over to sccache. I'm sure the info in comment 14 also applies to sccache as well as ccache.

Thanks, I was wondering what the sccache thing in ~/.mozbuild was about. I've switched over to sccache. I'm sure the info in comment 14 also applies to sccache as well as ccache. Edit: I guess I've always ignored it but I see this message appear at the end of the build: If you are building Firefox often, SCCache can save you a lot of time. You can learn more here: https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/build/buildsystem/sccache-dist.html. This link contains better info for possibly the windows or osx developer, but the link provided in comment 13 is more direct and to the point. Also, just as a data point, a tb build with sccache first enabled took 65m. The next build after clobber took only 22m.
