[Gcl-devel] Re: Large GCL Configurations

[Camm Maguire]

Greetings!

Yes, if any software required for building GCL is in non-standard
locations, like apparently /sw on your machine, you can deal with this
by setting various PATH variables before config:

export PATH=/sw/bin:$PATH
export C_INCLUDE_PATH=/sw/include:$C_INCLUDE_PATH (?)
export LIBRARY_PATH=/sw/lib:$LIBRARY_PATH (?)
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/sw/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH (?)

If this pulls in a new gcc, you can either 

export CC=<path to old gcc>

or export GCC_EXEC_PREFIX=<new_path....>/gcc-lib/

Then just configure and make as usual.  

Due to the great assistance of Aurelien, our GCL macosx guy, this is
supposed to work now out of the box. 

Please keep us posted.

Take care,
