@subsection ``How can I wholly disable the compiler output cache?''
To permanently disable the compiler output cache
for all future runs of ASDF, you can:
@example
mkdir -p ~/.config/common-lisp/asdf-output-translations.conf.d/
echo ':disable-cache' > ~/.config/common-lisp/asdf-output-translations.conf.d/99-disable-cache.conf
@end example
This assumes that you didn't otherwise configure the ASDF files
(if you did, edit them again),
and don't somehow override the configuration at runtime
with a shell variable (see below) or some other runtime command
(e.g. some call to @code{asdf:initialize-output-translations}).
To disable the compiler output cache in Lisp processes
run by your current shell, try (assuming @code{bash} or @code{zsh}):
@example
export ASDF_OUTPUT_TRANSLATIONS=/:
@end example
To disable the compiler output cache just in the current Lisp process,
use (after loading ASDF but before using it):
@example
(asdf:initialize-output-translations "/:")
@end example
