[Scons-users] Trouble Finding GCC

[Waqar, Faaiq G]

Thank you for your response, and making me aware of this question from the FAQ.
So the gcc I am using is located in is /usr/bin/gcc. I added the following lines to my SConscript based my rudimentary understanding of the FAQ solution:

main = Environment(tools=[
        'default', 'git', TempFileSpawn, EnvDefaults, MakeActionTool,
        ConfigFile, AddLocalRPATH, SwitchingHeaders, TagImpliesTool, Blob
    ])

->main.AppendENVPath('PATH', '/usr/bin/gcc')
->main.Tool("gcc")

main.Tool(SCons.Tool.FindTool(['gcc', 'clang'], main))
main.Tool(SCons.Tool.FindTool(['g++', 'clang++'], main))

I am still running into the issue, I assume because I am not using this correctly. Any advice? Thank you again for your time

Presumably this is an instance of one of the oldest problems in the book, with some notes here:

Where is your gcc located?
