Using action under MSYS2

[daljit46]

Hi,
I'd like to make use of this action using MSYS2 (following the instructions here) with gcc. Is this supported or is the usecase specifically catered for using MSVC on Windows? Can I simply pass the path of sccache to the MSYS2 console and then run sccache from there?

Hi, this question somewhat old know, but I thought I might share my solution anyway. sccache as installed with this action seems to work in an MSYS2 environment. It is not available in $PATH, so it must be called via $SCCACHE_PATH.
For example, to use sccache with CMake on MSYS2, you can use the following steps in your workflow:

echo CMAKE_C_COMPILER_LAUNCHER="$SCCACHE_PATH" >> $GITHUB_ENV
echo CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_LAUNCHER="$SCCACHE_PATH" >> $GITHUB_ENV

In steps following this one, CMake would be able to use sccache.
