/bin/sh: CC : command not found

Pikidalto · 05-10-2008, 11:30 AM

I need to use the cc command, but it is looking for CC. I tried switching the Makefile line from CC to cc, but it still says command not found. I tried softlinking CC to cc, and still a no go. Any help resolving this appreciated.

EDIT: In case you're wandering what I'm trying to compile, it's libvolume_id so I can compile HAL so that I can compile KDE4.1ALPHA.

You might want to take a look in your Makefile and see how CC is defined in it; by the way, CC is, sometimes at least, C++ (which is, on my system anyway, /usr/bin/c++ which is a symbolic link to /usr/bin/g++). It's normal on some systems that cc is the C compiler and CC is the C++ compiler. In your Makefile there may be a set of definitions for CC and you could change which one is active (not commented out).

Otherwise, locate g++ or c++ then

Code:

CC=g++
export CC

and see if that works for you.

So... something like:

Code:

CC=/usr/bin/g++
export CC

?

Unfortunately, doing this returns the same error

Do you have any compilers installed? Find out with
which commandname
Eg:

Code:

which cc
which CC
which g++
which c++

Sorry folks, cc is no g++, cc is usually a link to gcc.
g++ has a cousin too : c++

#ln -s gcc cc should solve your problem.

I have cc, g++, and c++ installed, but CC isn't installed.

And yes, GCC is installed, it got installed when I installed Ark's devel-core.

See posts #2 and #6
Maybe "CC" needs to be a link to /usr/bin/g++
What I am saying here is that CC maybe isn't a completely different program, but it is another name for one you already have.
Reading the Makefile should help you understand what it expects CC to be.
