Re: gcc and include dirs -> use the C_INCLUDE_PATH var.

["Gerold J. Wucherpfennig" <gjwucherpfennig at gmx dot net>]

C_INCLUDE_PATH does exist?

[root at pc103 ~/cvssources/gcccvs]# grep -rl C_INCLUDE_PATH  .
./gcc/gcc/ada/gnat_ug.texi
./gcc/gcc/doc/cpp.1
./gcc/gcc/doc/gcc.1
./gcc/gcc/doc/cpp.info-4
./gcc/gcc/doc/cppenv.texi
./gcc/gcc/doc/gcc.info-10
./gcc/gcc/doc/gcc.info-23
./gcc/gcc/doc/gcc.info-39
./gcc/gcc/doc/gcc.info-40
./gcc/gcc/cppinit.c
./gcc/gcc/gcc.info-36
./gcc/gcc/ChangeLog.1
./gcc/gcc/gcc.info-9

That's great :-)

So we don't need a special config file.

I hope that some of the major distributors will use this
variable and put more things into /opt/* instead of /usr (/usr/bin ...)


Thank you very much for this info :-)
