Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-10-24 00:34:38 UTC
I'm filing this bug (from a template, mind you) because the ebuild I'm reporting it against failed to build once I removed my /usr/bin/{gcc,cc,c++,c99} binaries. This means that the ebuild is relying on gcc or cc as compiler, while it should use "$(tc-getCC)" so that user choices are respected, and cross-compiling works as intended.

This usually comes down to one of these tasks:

- use emake CC="$(tc-getCC)" for building, to ovewrite make's CC variable (defaults to "cc", some upstream rewrites it);
- the above plus replacing explicit "gcc" (or similar) calls with $(CC) so that the variable is actually respected;
- tc-export CC in src_compile before eventual econf.

For C++, you'd have to replace CC with CXX everywhere above, of course.

If your package is a special case on this, please let me know.

Thanks,
Diego

It seems to work fine for me.

If I remove all the gcc's in my path (/usr/bin/gcc and /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/4.3.3/gcc ) and then set CC="/usr/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc-4.1.2" then it builds fine, and uses that compiler.

Thanks. I also want to note that before configure: 

%% grep CC Makefile.in 
CC=@CC@

after configure:

%% grep CC Makefile
CC=gcc

So, I think this bug is an error too.
