How do I enable ccache?
I am completely noob at this. I don't know what the make file is, and I don't know what bashrc is.
But I do know where to download source code and use source somebash.sh then make file (as was told by someone to run those commands).
I did some research and found out ccache can speed up sequential build speed, but I have no idea what am I supposed to do when reading those online instructions (include ccache in path, what path, where and how, and gcc, colorgcc, and bashrc. What are these?)
What is a step-by-step instruction?

If you don't know what you are doing, why are you concerned with increasing efficiency? Shouldn't you be more focused on figuring out the very basics? You should figure out what your end goal is, then figure out how to get there. Ask questions here about specific things you are trying to figure out that get you to that goal. If you don't know what a path is, then forget aboutccache.

I would read this documentation, and then
sudo apt-get install ccache
- Assuming you're build a "standard" source package,
export CC="ccache gcc"
export CXX="ccache g++"
./configure
If you really want to "override" the standard gcc and g++ you could then
ln -s $(which ccache) /usr/local/bin/gcc
ln -s $(which ccache) /usr/local/bin/g++
ln -s $(which ccache) /usr/local/bin/cc
