How To Install ccache on Fedora 34
ccache is C/C++ compiler cache
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install ccache on Fedora 34.
What is ccache
ccache is a compiler cache. It speeds up recompilation of C/C++ code by caching previous compiles and detecting when the same compile is being done again. The main focus is to handle the GNU C/C++ compiler (GCC), but it may also work with compilers that mimic GCC good enough.
We can use yum or dnf to install ccache on Fedora 34. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install ccache.
Install ccache on Fedora 34 Using dnf
Update yum database with dnf using the following command.
sudo dnf makecache --refresh
The output should look something like this:
Fedora 34 - x86_64 20 kB/s | 6.6 kB 00:00
Fedora 34 openh264 (From Cisco) - x86_64 1.4 kB/s | 989 B 00:00
Fedora Modular 34 - x86_64 68 kB/s | 6.5 kB 00:00
Fedora 34 - x86_64 - Updates 3.5 kB/s | 6.2 kB 00:01
Fedora Modular 34 - x86_64 - Updates 17 kB/s | 5.9 kB 00:00
Metadata cache created.
After updating yum database, We can install ccache using dnf by running the following command:
sudo dnf -y install ccache
Install ccache on Fedora 34 Using yum
Update yum database with yum using the following command.
sudo yum makecache --refresh
The output should look something like this:
Fedora 34 - x86_64 20 kB/s | 6.6 kB 00:00
Fedora 34 openh264 (From Cisco) - x86_64 1.4 kB/s | 989 B 00:00
Fedora Modular 34 - x86_64 68 kB/s | 6.5 kB 00:00
Fedora 34 - x86_64 - Updates 3.5 kB/s | 6.2 kB 00:01
Fedora Modular 34 - x86_64 - Updates 17 kB/s | 5.9 kB 00:00
Metadata cache created.
After updating yum database, We can install ccache using yum by running the following command:
sudo yum -y install ccache
How To Uninstall ccache on Fedora 34
To uninstall only the ccache package we can use the following command:
sudo dnf remove ccache
