Wrong GCC version, but I have the correct GCC version...

[darkseid4nk]

How do I get the make files to use the correct version. According to my OS 6.3.0 is what I have configured, as you can see with gcc and g++ version output.

 

root@mcserver:~/wow/TrinityCore/build# sudo update-alternatives --config gcc
There are 2 choices for the alternative gcc (providing /usr/bin/gcc).

  Selection    Path              Priority   Status
------------------------------------------------------------
* 0            /usr/bin/gcc-6     60        auto mode
  1            /usr/bin/gcc-4.8   60        manual mode
  2            /usr/bin/gcc-6     60        manual mode

Press enter to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number: 2

i suggest you to use clang like wiki states.

You should also run sudo update-alternatives --config g++

And check if you dont have CC/CXX environment variables defined pointing to 4.8

[elixcyr]

if you compil with centos you can export the gcc you want before run cmake

export CC=path_to_your_gcc

export CXX=path_to_your_gcc++

Always with Centos if you have installed devtoolset 7 for centos7  only run before cmake

scl enable devtoolset-7 bash
