The confCC macro is used to specify which
C-language compiler to use when building
sendmail. The default is probably appropriate
for your system, but there might be times when a different compiler
is preferred. For example, consider the desire to use
Sun's unbundled compiler instead of
gcc(1) under Solaris 2.5:
define(`confCC', `/usr/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc')
The confCC macro might also be used to compile for
testing with purify(1):
define(`confCC', `/usr/local/bin/purify cc')
Or you might need to use a specific version of
gcc:
define(`confCC', `gcc -V2.7.2.1')
When compiling under
Solaris with Sun's unbundled compiler, you will need
to declare the following two lines:
define(`confCC', `/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc')
define(`confDEPEND_TYPE', `Solaris')
Here, a confDEPEND_TYPE of
Solaris causes a Makefile to
be constructed with correct dependencies for Sun's
unbundled compiler (confDEPEND_TYPE).
The confCC macro provides the value used with the
CC= Makefile directive. This value is used to
compile .o files from .c
files, and to ld(1) the final
sendmail executable.
