[NTLUG:Discuss] makefile guidance..

[George E. Lass]

I *think* you can just pass the compiler into the makefile:

make CC=gcc -g -Wall (and don't forget -Werror)

--or--

make CC=g++ -g .......


This *should* override the the CC= whatever that is contained in the 
makefile itself.  Is this what you want to do?
