Re: How to select a c compiler for chicken-install

[alice maz]

set C_COMPILER in config.make and rebuild. I use this to do dev builds with clang and just checked that it does make chicken-install use the same compiler

if you've already tried this and it didn't work, run `make spotless` and `chicken-install -purge` and try again. the eggname.build.sh scripts that chicken-install generates define CHICKEN_CC based on whatever's hardcoded in chicken-config.h, so if there's old files from a previous build remaining they could be getting in the way

I used a gcc from macports to build and install chicken 5.2 from source on macosx. I'd like chicken-install to use the same c compiler for egg installation but it defaults to the xcode c compiler. I've tried numerous environment variables and options to no avail. Is there a way to set this manually?
