distutils gcc unix

[Michiel Jan Laurens de Hoon]

Thanks for your reply. I am having some difficulties setting the CC 
environment variable, probably due to some peculiarities of our Unix 
system. But if I solve that and set CC=gcc, would distutils know about 
it? I would think that distutils would choose the compiler options for 
the regular cc compiler, but substitute gcc for CC when the actual 
compilation starts, thus ending up with the wrong compiler options. Or 
am I missing something here? Does distutils check for the CC environment 
variable?

Thanks again,
--Michiel.
