Changing compiler version for a make

ElectroLinux · 10-22-2007, 06:04 PM

Right now /usr/bin/gcc is old. How can I force a make to use a specific verion of gcc. Assuming I have several different versions installed in /usr/bin?

For example:

/usr/bin/gcc
/usr/bin/gcc-2.2.2
/usr/bin/gcc-2.1.3

I need to use gcc-2.2.2...can i specify that in make command or..?

If you set the CC variable to the pathname of the compiler, I believe it will do what you ant. Either set CC in your Makefile, or "make CC=/usr/bin/gcc-2.2.2 [target]".
