How and where do I tell CMake where my C/CXX compiler is?

I'm trying to install lightspark on my computer, and it hinges on launching a shell script that mainly executes a CMake command. when I try ./build.sh (the name of the shell script), I get a bunch of lines of errors. The first one I think is major is CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-3.23/Modules/CMakeTestCCompiler.cmake:69 (message): The C compiler "/usr/bin/cc" is not able to compile a simple test program. This makes me think it tries to direct to some sort of default C Compiler or C program to compile, then doesn't work as I have in some place failed to clarify what C/CXX compiler I'm using. Additionally, at the end of the errors I get Tell CMake where to find the compiler by setting either the environment variable "CXX" or the CMake cache entry CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER to the full path to the compiler, or to the compiler name if it is in the PATH. With this, I tried to find some place to put my compiler path, in the Lightspark repo itself and in the CMake files, and I've been unable to find anything. The manual seems to go more over options for the CMake command itself as opposed to setting things up beforehand; I haven't been able to find what I'm looking for. I'm more or less at the end of my rope for this specific issue, help would be appreciated. Thank you
