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.
