Hello!
I am running C::B on Ubuntu 14.10, using gcc compiler for C programming purposes only.
The way things as configured, the gcc command generates a file with a ".o" extension. After, it seems to be passed to g++ in order to generate the executable file (without any extension, on Linux).
How can I edit this command on C::B in the following simple manner?
> gcc file.c -o file
Furthermore, once I execute this command on a terminal and generate the executable on the proper folder, C::B reads and runs it!
I think there is no problem in having only gcc and not having g++ compiler. (BTW, it seems impossible to download it on my distribution, for some dependence reasons.) So it will be fantastic just to reconfigure C::B to use only gcc.
Best regards,
Alex
P. S. I passed the day searching for this without any success. Thanks in advance.

Yo buddy,
To use gcc instead of g++ for linking part, you can modify that by editing the linker program.
Settings>Toolchain executables tab>linker for dynamics libs , you erase g++ and write gcc.
It will still be a 2 steps compilation though : .c -> .o -> executable.
EDIT :
But you wont be able to compile C++ projects anymore.
If you want to do something cleaner, you can copy the GCC compiler profile, rename it a meaningful way (Exclusive C compiler - GCC for instance) and set your project for using this compiler profile.
Right click on your project > build options and select it ^^.
That way, if one day you do C++ project, you will just have to select the original GCC compiler profile.

Beautiful solution!
