icecream seems to have invoked itself recursively!

[jlocatelli74]

Hello,

I'am use to run icecc for distributed compilation, but after system upgrade from Debian 9 to Debian 10 I've got this error: ICECC[8260] 2020-06-04 15:58:50: icecream seems to have invoked itself recursively!

It is the same on ubuntu 18.04.

Anybody have an idear for helping me?

As the error message says, your icecc wrapper invokes itself. So most probably your $PATH is wrong. You can e.g. run your build in "strace -f -e execve [command]" to find out how.

I've find!! I use colorgcc package. I configured cologcc with this option : g++ -> ccache /usr/bin/icecc g++ And I have a link in my bin home directory -> g++ -> /usr/bin/colorgcc That's doing the recursively called. So I replace colorgcc option by : g++ -> ccache /usr/bin/icecc /usr/bin/g++
