Hi-
I've got gcc and ancillary tools installed via homebrew on my system, which works fine in standalone R, but when I try to install packages in RStudio, it uses the XCode version, which often leads to errors since it doesn't link the the right libraries, etc. For example, within RStudio:
> system("gcc --version")
Configured with: --prefix=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/include/c++/4.2.1
Apple clang version 11.0.0 (clang-1100.0.33.17)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin18.7.0
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin
But within standalone R:
> system("gcc --version")
gcc (Homebrew GCC 9.2.0_3) 9.2.0

I've tried setting it in ~/.R/Makevars, but RStudio doesn't seem to use this file.
Any idea how I can get RStudio to use the right compiler?
