[Linuxptp-devel] Build commands

[Petr Kulhavy]

Hi,

is there a specific reason why Linuxptp overrides the build commands to
gcc and cpp (with the $(CROSS_COMPILE) prefix) instead of using the
standard Make variables $(CC) and $(CPP)?

Does it mean that Linuxptp works only with GCC?

Thanks
Petr

The only reason is that GCC is the compiler in a GNU/Linux system.

Does it mean that Linuxptp works only with GCC?

Who knows? To my knowledge, no one cares. I certainly have little
interest in supporting other compilers.

Thanks,
