Is it possible to force GNU libtool to use the Solaris CC compiler instead of GCC?

I was curious whether it is possible to force GNU libtool to use the Solaris CC compiler instead of GCC? If so, how might that be done?

Here is libtool build script for libpcre 7.28.1, the SMTP,TCP/IP,etc open source library, which I ran on Solaris UNIX last night.

Solution

  • Won't "./configure CC=cc" suffice?

    Since gcc and cc will be quite different I think perhaps changing compiler after configure-time might be slightly more error-prone but you can try that as well:

    "make CC=cc"
