When you are on it, can you make compiler name a variable, so I can switch from g++ to g++-4.1 by editing single line? Smile

I think right now it's spread over 2 places (1x compiling, 1x linking final binary).

Hi Ped,

No problem, it is in svn now. I was actually thinking about it too, just a few days ago Smile

So now you can change the compiler without editing anything, just invoke make with variable in option:

make CC=g++-4.1

Default is CC=c++.

Also, probably not very useful feature, but just in case someone wants to use it: If you want to use different program for linking, you can use LINKER variable. Default is LINKER=CC.

Best regards,
Honza
