Greetings.

I have a C++ project that I want to build for openSUSE Tumbleweed. I get build errors when using the default GCC 9 and the developers advise me to try using GCC 8 instead. What's the right way of configuring the project to do this?

I tried updating my project's metadata as follows:

<repository name="openSUSE_Tumbleweed"> [...] <path project="devel:gcc" repository="openSUSE_Factory"/> [...] </repository>

And then in my spec file I replaced

BuildRequires: gcc-c++

with

BuildRequires: gcc8-c++

But this doesn't seem to work. When I do a build, I see that both GCC 8 and GCC 9 get installed. But the build then fails with the following message:

checking for the target C++ compiler... not found DEBUG: _cxx: Trying /usr/bin/g++ ERROR: Cannot find the target C++ compiler

Generally speaking, is there something else I should be doing to force OBS builds to use GCC 8 instead of whatever Tumbleweed's current version is?

setting export CXX=g++-8 before most likely.
