# sccache for Debian

## Usage

The recommended way to use this with Cargo-based rust code
is to set sccache as wrapper for rustc,
e.g. through an environment variable like this:

  export RUSTC_WRAPPER=sccache

sccache is also usable similar to ccache,
where you either create "cc" and "gcc" symlinks to /usr/bin/sccache
in your private bin directory
(which must be before the real cc and gcc in your path),
use CC="sccache gcc" on the make command line,
or just prepend /usr/lib/sccache in your PATH environment variable,
like this:

  export PATH="/usr/lib/sccache:$PATH"

Note that sccache should work with both native and cross compilers.

## Lack of cloud storage support

sccache is currently built without support for cloud storage
due to lack of dependencies packaged for Debian.
