Peertube: compilation fail on OpenBSD 6.2

[B4rb3rouss]

When trying to compile on OpenBSD, it fails, complaining about unrecognized options.
Can you consider using clang instead of gcc ?

Here is the output :

Do not hesitate to ask for more info if necessary.

This is not PeerTube that uses gcc, but a dependency (node-sass).

You can use the compiler you want: https://github.com/sass/libsass/issues/1998#issuecomment-211981650 (just adapt the commands for openbsd)

great, setting env correctly works like a charm :

export CC=/usr/bin/clang
export CXX=/usr/bin/clang++

thank you.
