From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

GCC is the compiler. The code snippet in the link above sets the environment for the driver to use the compiler you have.
This is getting deep and complicated.
So I tried using the command in the snippet, and made sure that CC was capitalized, but the error log still says "You are using: cc (Ubuntu 11.4.0-1ubuntu1~22.04) 11.4.0"
Going to the post that talks about changing your version of GCC it looks like my gcc might be pointing to the "11.4.0 cc"?
But when I run: sudo apt-get install gcc-4.3 gcc-4.4 g++-4.3 g++-4.4
I can't find those packages. And when I run:
sudo update-alternatives --remove-all gcc sudo update-alternatives --remove-all g++
I find no alternatives. Sheesh. When I go this many layers deep I get worried that I'm going to potentially break something that will make bugtesting for other future things harder.
