But I still have to edit it to change the compiler to use egcc.
Would it be possible to define a single variable to choose the
compiler, so that I can pass a value on the command line? In the
Makefile there are 2 different variables for CC at the present time:
HOSTCC =egcc
HOSTCFLAGS =-Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer
CROSS_COMPILE =
AS =$(CROSS_COMPILE)as
LD =$(CROSS_COMPILE)ld
CC =$(CROSS_COMPILE)egcc -D__KERNEL__ -I$(HPATH)
CPP =$(CC) -E
Would it be possible to change the CC line so as to read:
CC =$(CROSS_COMPILE)$(HOSTCC) -D__KERNEL__ -I$(HPATH)
so that I could invoke the compilation as
HOSTCC=egcc make xconfig dep clean etc etc etc....
Thanks for your attention.
