2.1.6 Compiler Settings

You now have the opportunity to select compiler settings. Select any options you need.

In general, if this is the first time you are installing this compiler on your machine, let the installer modify any PATH or environmental variables to ensure correct compiler operation.

The Linux installer, by default, does not update the PATH variable. However, if the Add <xc compiler> to the PATH environment variable check box is selected, then PATH is updated to include paths to the new executables being installed. If the installer is run via “sudo,” the default option will update the PATH of the user executing the sudo command. If the installer is run by root, it is not necessary to use the sudo command, but the default will update root's PATH and not the path of other users. When installing while logged in as root, a better choice is the option to update all user PATH variables, or to skip updating the PATH variable in the installer, and to update the PATH variables of users who will use the software manually.
