Jule on Debian 12

[ghost]

I downloaded https://github.com/julelang/jule/releases/download/jule0.1.3/jule-linux-amd64.zip and tried to run julec . to test the Jule compiler. But it always said it can't find the C++ compiler even though I have g++ available. What can I do now?

Hi.
Jule uses Clang by default. The default path to Clang is clang++. If you don't have an executable with this identifier, the compiler will complain. If you want to use GCC as a back-end compiler, you should tell it with the --compiler option, ex. julec --compiler gcc .. This command-line option tells the compiler to use which back-end compiler standards. For specific back-end compiler paths, you can specify it with the --compiler-path option, ex. julec --compiler gcc --compiler-path mygcc/bin/gcc.

To clarify the difference; the --compiler option specifies which back-end compiler standard to use, currently clang or gcc. The --compiler-path option specifies where the back-end compiler located, by default clang++ for Clang and g++ for GCC.
