How to build chromium with gcc 5.4.1

[Mu Ven]

Im using c++ regex which needs gcc 5.4.1 support . Any help on how to build chrome with gcc 5.4.1 instead of 4.8 would be helpful.

Thanks,

Have you tried modifying your CC and CXX environment variables? Have you tried anything else that didn't work?

I'm not sure many people do it nowadays, probably most devs when developing on Linux are using

clang that is provided by our current toolchain.

Not sure if CC and CXX will work with ninja.  I think you can set is_clang=false in your args.gn and set your PATH to point to the gcc 5.4.1 binaries?

Try to set the following gn args:

is_clang = false

use_sysroot = false

If I remember correctly, that will call "gcc" and "g++" without any prefix and use the local system library, so this should work if your gcc 5.4.1 is available under the name "gcc" or "g++". There may be compile errors, though.
