Surely your makefiles invoke the compiler via an environment variable so as to allow you to override the default? Likewise your configure scripts include compiler override options, no?

Today I updated my cygwin install for the first time in about three months. Apparently I unwittingly installed gcc 3.2. Our code base is staunchly gcc 2.95 for now. I discovered the gcc2 package and installed it, but of course it's not the default and I can't change our code base to look at gcc-2. I have to change my local install to work the way it used to.Is there a way to get back to where I was? I've tried uninstalling gcc-3 and then renaming /usr/bin/*-2.exe to not have the "-2" but I think I'm missing something. The build breaks in a confusing place and I'm convinced its because of my compiler woes. Could I use an old version of the installer to install gcc-2.95 as "gcc" instead of "gcc-2"? If so, where would I get the old installer and how would I make it do the right thing? I've searched the mailing lists as best I can back throuh Oct. 15th, but I haven't found an answer. Any help you could give would be, well, helpful. Thanks in advance. DaveMc
