There is no PATH issue. Switching between compilers is as easy as setting correct CC/CXX environment/Makefile variables. argument about disk space sounds a bit funny these days. /fjoe To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
