[Discuss-gnuradio] pybombs install hackrf causes CMake to fail with no suitable type found on CentOS 6.5

[Richard Sharpe]

Hi folks,

I am trying to build on CentOS 6.5.

I cloned the repos, and then issued cd pybombs; ./pybombs install
hackrf and it eventually failed with:

------------------
Current step: (hackrf :: configure)
configure
(' \n    CC=gcc CXX=g++ cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/rsharpe/dev/target \n', ' \n    CC=$cc
CXX=$cxx cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=$cmakebuildtype
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$prefix $config_opt\n')
(' \n    CC=gcc CXX=g++ cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/rsharpe/dev/target \n', ' \n    CC=gcc
CXX=g++ cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/rsharpe/dev/target \n')
bash exec (/home/rsharpe/dev/pybombs/src/hackrf/host/build)::
    CC=gcc CXX=g++ cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/rsharpe/dev/target

(MESSAGE):
  no suitable type found

---------------------

The problem was obvious once I checked in
src/hackrf/host/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeError.log:

cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-std=gnu90"

gcc version is 4.4-.7-4.el6 which does not support that command-line option.

Is there any way to switch it off?
