Using other compilers....

[Tomasz Kowalczyk]

And what about using something else than gcc ?

I have unsuccessfully been trying to compile with CC on IRIX 6.5. I do it like
this:

1. using kdevelop, I generate a Qt project. Then, I leave kdevelop
2. cd to the project directory, make distclean
3. CC=cc, CXX=CC
4. gmake -f Makefile.dist
5. ./configure

everything ok so far, not a single error. Then, I try

6. gmake

and it fails miserably with:

cd . && autoheader
gmake  all-recursive
gmake[1]: Entering directory `/hosts/bombay/usr3/tomasz/src/KDE/qtproject'
Making all in qtproject
gmake[2]: Entering directory
`/hosts/bombay/usr3/tomasz/src/KDE/qtproject/qtproject'
CC -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I/usr/local/qt-2.0.2/include      -O2 -g -c
qtprojectview.cpp

Command-line error(1574): invalid macro definition:

Error(1005): could not open source file ".deps/qtprojectview.pp"

2 catastrophic errors detected in the compilation of ".deps/qtprojectview.pp".
Compilation terminated.
gmake[2]: *** [qtprojectview.o] Error 2
gmake[2]: Leaving directory
`/hosts/bombay/usr3/tomasz/src/KDE/qtproject/qtproject'gmake[1]: ***
[all-recursive] Error 1
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/hosts/bombay/usr3/tomasz/src/KDE/qtproject'
gmake: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2

After digging into the makefile, I found out that it tries to generate that
unfortunate ".deps/qtprojectview.pp" in a way which definitely is not going to work
with my CC. Who is to be blamed: me or not me ? And what can I do ?
