forking: <20220307191054.n5enrlf6kdn7z...@alap3.anarazel.de> An update.
ccache 4.6.1 was released which allows compiling postgres I submitted a request to update the package in chocolatey. But with the existing build system, it's no faster anyway, I guess due to poor use of parallelism. https://cirrus-ci.com/task/5972008205811712 Currently, meson doesn't (automatically) use ccache with MSVC - see mesonbuild/environment.py. And CC=ccache gives an error - I suppose it should not try to pop ccache off the compiler list if the list has only one element. |[21:44:49.791] File "C:\python\lib\site-packages\mesonbuild\compilers\detect.py", line 375, in _detect_c_or_cpp_compiler |[21:44:49.791] compiler_name = os.path.basename(compiler[0]) |[21:44:49.791] IndexError: list index out of range |... |[21:44:49.791] meson.build:1:0: ERROR: Unhandled python exception |[21:44:49.791] |[21:44:49.791] This is a Meson bug and should be reported! But it can be convinced to use ccache by renaming the executable to "pgccache". Which builds in 46sec: https://cirrus-ci.com/task/4862234995195904 This requires ccache 4.6, released in Feburary and already in choco. Note that ccache supports neither /Zi debugging nor precompiled headers. I'm not sure, but -Dc_args=/Z7 may do what's wanted here.
