only build `Release` version of Electron if you use this mode:
```bash
$ ./script/build.py -c D
$ ./script/build.py -c R
```
### Using system `clang` instead of downloaded `clang` binaries
By default Electron is built with prebuilt `clang` binaries provided by Chromium
project. If for some reason you want to build with the `clang` installed in your
system, you can call `bootstrap.py` with `--clang_dir=<path>` switch. By passing
it the build script will assume the clang binaries reside in `<path>/bin/`.
For example if you installed `clang` under `/user/local/bin/clang`:
```bash
$ ./script/bootstrap.py -v --build_libchromiumcontent --clang_dir /usr/local
$ ./script/build.py -c R
```
### Using other compilers other than `clang`
To build Electron with compilers like `g++`, you first need to disable `clang`
with `--disable_clang` switch first, and then set `CC` and `CXX` environment
variables to the ones you want.
For example building with GCC toolchain:
```bash
$ env CC=gcc CXX=g++ ./script/bootstrap.py -v --build_libchromiumcontent --disable_clang
$ ./script/build.py -c R
```
