I am interested in trying to compile a complicated set of about 40 files
on a SUN. There is a Makefile included with the set so if I wanted to
I could compile them using the c compiler normally resident on the SUN
by just typing "make". However, I would like to see what happens if
I compile them with the GNU compiler. One thing to try would be to
modify the Makefile so that it uses the GNU compiler instead of the
usual one. I don't know how to do that. Another thing to try would be
to figure out what the Makefile actually does and implement that by
hand, executing all the relevant commands myself and making sure that
I always compile using the GNU compiler instead of the usual one.
I don't know how to do that either.

Anyone want to tell me how to do either or both? I assume there is a
general answer. If not, details are available on request.

Thanks.
