xbps-src clang support?

[15zemlekop]

What should I do if I want to use clang instead of gcc to build packages with xbps-src?

this is not the proper way to do it.

1. what is installed on the host system does not matter
2. what /usr/bin/cc is does not matter
3. /etc/xbps/xbps-src.conf is not a thing
4. that is not what XBPS_CROSS_BASE is for

Did you get this from chatgpt? If so, I recommend not using that to answer questions here in the future.

In general, this is not really supported by xbps-src. You can build specific packages with clang by adding clang to the hostmakedepends of the package, putting CC="clang" in the template, and it will probably work. Cross-compiling with clang would probably take a lot more work.
