Does it work without ccache?

Does it work without ccache?

i can't test this yet.

why should ccache be at fault, when it creates unique hashes of the source files?

[bitpup]

without ccache the build completes

issue was between keyboard and chair

please close bug

thanks

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

So at minimum, if it can't be fixed to work with ccache, gimp2 should turn it off in the portfile (maybe only when using clang?).

Cc Me!

Relative to a 10.6 build for GIMP, that simply may not be technically feasible. Dave can provide a more definitive answer, though.

And since this ticket is eight years old, referring to a much older version... we can probably close this ticket.

Oh, not so hard. We have it working well down to at least 10.5.

Riccardo even has the +quartz version working there -- I use x11 for all my gtk stuff, though.

Building with ccache? That's what the problem was here.

Ken wasn't Cc'd before; please see above comment.

[kencu (Ken)]

I didn't notice the ccache wrinkle...I don't think I ever tried it with ccache, to be honest.
