I'd like to see an enhancement made to config such that it allows the user to make a choice between gcc and the system C compiler and honors that choice. On Solaris 2.6-Solaris 8 on a system with both gcc and Sun's Workshop C compiler installed in the path the config script finds gcc and sets CC to gcc, then in the SunOS system section it finds cc and if the version number is high enough it sets CC to cc regardless of whether it's already set. I'd like to see config honer the CC environment variable if it is set or have some command line option for setting the compiler.
I know I can use Configure, but it's not blindingly obvious whether I should use sunos-gcc for gcc on Solaris 2.6 or something else. (Gee do they think SunOS is SunOS 4.x and before or not?, etc.). config does everything else OK for me and it would makes things easier if it did this as well. The case point I have is that I'm compiling apache, mod_ssl, mm and openssl and I want to do all of them with gcc. All of the rest respect the current setting of CC except for openssl's config script. Thanks for your consideration of this request. - Mike -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike Burns UNIX Systems Group [EMAIL PROTECTED] Center for Academic Computing +1 814 863 5606 The Pennsylvania State University ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
