How does one modify the macro to use a different compiler in the makefile?

  1. By editing the makefile directly

  2. Changing the compiler installation path

  3. Using an environment variable

  4. Recompiling the makefile with the new compiler

The correct answer is: By editing the makefile directly

To modify the macro to use a different compiler in the makefile, you would need to edit the makefile directly. Options B and C are incorrect because changing the compiler installation path or using an environment variable would not directly modify the makefile. Option D is also incorrect because the makefile should not be compiled again, but rather edited directly to change the compiler. Therefore, the only correct option is to edit the makefile directly.
