Compiler choice

[Markus Hitter]

Sali,

today, when building GNUstep for the first time with Apple's new 
Developer Tools, I found, base/configure would not choose the 
right compiler. Currently, I've installed cc, gcc and gcc3 in 
the PATH.

In make, I do:

        CC=gcc3 ./configure ...

Then, in base:

        . ...GNUstep.sh
        ./configure

configure would choose gcc as the complier.

But isn't GNUstep expected to have the name of the compiler 
hardwired somewhere in $GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT? Then, configure 
should use this name, too, IMHO.

As there is a easy workaround, I'll look for a patch later.


Cheers,
Markus


P.S.: Apple's gcc3 is built from a branch which doesn't fully 
support -fconstant-string-class, yet.
