Is it possible to specify compiler search path for compilers not in
PATH? Preferably in an environment variable, or a config file?
I think this would be useful in a variety of scenarios. For example, I
have LDC and GDC installed in windows. I would not mind having ldc2.exe
and gdc.exe on the path, but each of them require their own special
distribution of mingw (which has lots of other tools: gcc, gdb, ld,
etc.). For LDC/GDC to find the correct GCC compiler suite, it's best to
have each mingw distribution placed in the same base dir as LDC/GDC.
This means that if ldc or gdc is on the PATH, then each gcc/gdc/ld/etc.
is on the PATH as well. I don't want that to avoid any confusion (on top
of that I also have the Cygwin GCC compiler on the PATH, which is the
only one I would like to be there)
