On my Windows system, I have both gcc and Visual C++.

By default, cmake selects Visual C++.

How can I force it to use gcc?

How can I specify the compiler path?

In the CMakeLists.txt file I tried with:

SET(CMAKE_C_COMPILER gcc)
SET(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER g++)

with no result.

Thank’s.

    You can explicitly specify the generator:

    cmake -G"MinGW Makefiles" <path_to_your_project>
    

    If gcc is in your path CMake will pick it automatically.
