| Sorry, my mistake - I should have said that you need to put 'CC=gcc-3.0'
| on make's command line, rather than in the environment. For instance:
|
| [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ cat test.mk
| CC = gcc
| all:
| echo $(CC)
| [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ make -f test.mk
| echo gcc
| gcc
| [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ make -f test.mk CC=gcc-3.0
| echo gcc-3.0
| gcc-3.0
|
| This will work unless somebody has used an 'override' command in the
| Makefile, but fortunately that's very rare.
Oh, sweet, that's the trick that works. Thanks!
