gcc-set-default-version

[Jeff Carr]

Is there a more standard way to set the /usr/bin/gcc symlink? I've
always just manually set the symlink.

It would be convenient to have a script or command like this in the
gcc package.

Enjoy,
Jeff

#!/bin/bash

usage() {
        echo
        echo Sets the default version of gcc, g++, etc
        echo Usage:
        echo
        echo "    gcc-set-default-version <VERSION>"
        echo
        exit
}

cd /usr/bin

if [ -z $1 ] ; then
        usage;
fi

set_default() {
        if [ -e "$1-$2" ] ; then
                echo $1-$2 is now the default
                ln -sf $1-$2 $1
        else
                echo $1-$2 is not installed
        fi
}

for i in gcc cpp g++ gcov gccbug ; do
        set_default $i $1
done
