Bug 186049 – [GTK] CMakeLists cannot recognize gcc > 6.0.0

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: WORKSFORME
• Component: Tools / Tests

[tigercosmos]

In `webkit/CMakeLists.txt`, the following line seems not works well:
```
if (${CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_VERSION} VERSION_LESS "6.0.0")
```

I have gcc 6.4.0, but it show error as:
```
$ Tools/Scripts/build-webkit --gtk -j4
Use of uninitialized value $previousContents in chomp at /home/tigercosmos/webkit/Tools/Scripts/webkitdirs.pm line 1974.
Use of uninitialized value $previousContents in string ne at /home/tigercosmos/webkit/Tools/Scripts/webkitdirs.pm line 1977.

[1/1] Re-running CMake...
-- The CMake build type is: Release
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:64 (message):
  GCC 6.0.0 is required to build WebKitGTK+, use a newer GCC version or clang
```

However, when I command the line above in `CMakeKList.txt`, it can compile well.

```
$ gcc -v

I use ` message("${CMAKE_C_COMPILER}")` to find the cc path.
It will lead to `/usr/bin/cc`

If I check the `/usr/bin/cc` version it shows `6.4.0`

However, in the cmake `CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_VERSION` will get `5.4.0`.
So weird!

Presumably you've figured this out by now, but you probably just needed to clear your CMakeCache.txt.
