#1080 Building with GCC on Mac OS

[Mohammad Akhlaghi]

I am trying to install ATLAS 3.10.3, with a custom built GCC 8.3.0 on a Mac OS X.

After unpacking the tarball and making a build directory to build ATLAS, I run configure like below. For now, I am setting --cripple-atlas-performance for an initial build and will later remove it.

../configure -b 64 -D c -DPentiumCPS=$$core         \
                     --with-netlib-lapack-tarfile=lapack.tar.gz   \
                     --cripple-atlas-performance                  \
                     --shared                                     \
                      -C xc /path/to/gcc                           \
                      -C gc /path/to/gcc                           \
                      -C if /path/to/gfortran                      \
                      -C ic /path/to/gcc                           \
                      -C dm /path/to/gcc                           \
                      -C sm /path/to/gcc                           \
                      -C dk /path/to/gcc                           \
                      -C sk /path/to/gcc                           \                     
                      --prefix=/my/install/directory

But I get the error in P.S. Apparently the main error line is this:

UNKNOWN COMPILER 'path/installed/bin/gcc' for GCC: you must also supply flags!

So my question is this: which flags should I add to the ATLAS configure command so it can recognize my custom GCC (8.3.0)?

Thank you very much in advance.

P.S. Output of the configure command:
