[cfe-dev] Issues with C++ stdlib include paths and Clang compilation.

[Rocco Moretti via cfe-dev]

Thanks. Adding "-DGCC_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/gcc/5.2.0/" on the cmake
command line (as opposed to setting the GCC_INSTALL_PREFIX environment
variable) seems to work.

Is there a location where this is documented?
http://clang.llvm.org/get_started.html (the first hit when I Google
"install clang") still talks about the --with-gcc-toolchain option, and
http://llvm.org/docs/CMake.html (linked from the previous page as more
details about cmake and first hit when I search "clang cmake") doesn't
mention it as a relevant option for the CMake build.
