FAQ:Compiling 01

How do I compile with 'cc' instead of 'gcc'?

Run configure with --with-cc=cc

Note that if you've already run configure once, it will probably have detected the presence of 'gcc', cached this information, and may still try to use this anyway. In which case, simply remove the 'config.cache' file before re-running configure.
