@april but yeah so like, in linux, you just... install gcc right? and run gcc. it is not like that on bsd systems. there are like 20 different versions and you pick one. "gcc" in PATH, in openbsd, is a really really old one in the base system. if you're using stuff like gnu toolchains in ports, you run e.g. gcc-15, gcc-14, and so on. so you h ave to adjust PATH and/or adjust e.g. CC, and so on, in the environment. often you have to patch upstream projects if they assume e.g. gcc in PATH.
