Description Aaron Williams 2004-04-15 01:39:49 UTC 
Version:           3.0.2 (using KDE 3.2.1, compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.3
OS:          SunOS (sun4u) release 5.8

It would be very useful if I could have a project override various environment variables like $PATH and $LD_LIBRARY_PATH, for example, to prepend the directory containing the tools.

For example, I want to do something like:

export PATH="/opt/gcc3.3/bin:$PATH"

without having to specify the entire pathname.  Otherwise, configure picks up the wrong tools.

You can do that in the configure options, and the run options.
