How to use gcc instead of clang

Question

I am trying to build an android version from Github and I would like to compile it with gcc, the instructions say to input "make efi_img -jN" but i always get a clang error. I am very new with Unix so i would appreciate any help using gcc instead of clang.

Answer 1

First find out the name of the compiler variable in the Makefile. If it's a C project it's probably CC . If it's a C++ project it's probably CXX .

Then invoke make by assigning the name of the GCC executable to that variable:

make CXX=g++ efi_img -jN
