Compiling with gcc not cc. How?

[josel]

Howdy!

I just downloaded sendmail 8.13.0 and for a while now, have tried to and failed to tell the Build script to use /usr/local/bin/gcc in lieu of cc.

I do not have cc at all so sh Build fails with error.

I found confCC could be set and did in ../devtools/Site/site.config.m4 but I still have sample problem.

I tried setting local variable CC and confCC and nothing.

Where and how do I tell the Build script to use gcc?

Thank you all in advance!

Hi,

Quikc solution. If you want create a link called cc and point to gcc.

dbase77

dbase77 is correct. There is no cc in real life. It is just a link to gcc. You can create the link with this command:

ln -s /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/cc

I did, and it still failed, with a different message, but it failed none the less.

It appears that the paratemeters/arguments passed are not valid for gcc.

I have compiled other GNUs apps but have never, to this date, sucessfully compiled sendmail.

I'm giving up and research postfix.
