Hi!

Let's start with a quick note: the GNU Savannah support system is actually
meant for GNU Savannah related issues and not for GNU/Linux or similar
problems.
However, I'll still answer your question. Next time please don't file a
support request here when looking for an answer to such a question.

Okay, now let's give you an answer:

As you said, you tried setting the CC variable in your makefile, without any
luck though. The reason for this is that setting a variable in a makefile
works pretty much the same way setting variables in shell scripts work.
So, after setting the CC variable you can 'access' it using ${CC}. This way
${CC} will be replaced with the value of the CC variable when parsing the
makefile.

So, adapted to your makefile it would look like this:

CC=/path/to/your/gcc

hello : hello.o
${CC} -o hello.c hello.o

hello.o : hello.c
${CC} -c hello.c

clean :
rm hello hello.o

Don't forget to not simply copy&paste this snippted but to add tabs again.

Regards.

PS: I've closed this support request. If you do have any other questions not
related to GNU Savannah please do not use this support request system. If you
do have other specific GNU make related 'problems', please refer to the GNU
make manual which can be found at
http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html.
