I am trying to get R-2.2.1 to pass make check on an AIX 5.2 at work (I know
R-2.2.1 is not the latest release, but I encountered make errors in my attempts
to install either R-2.3.0 or the R-patched_2006-05-10 on the version of AIX I
am on. I will post those errors in a separate posting from this.)
So far, configure and make finish without error for R-2.2.1 using gnu make,
gcc-4.1.0, and
CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc
F77=/usr/local/bin/gfortran
CXX=/usr/local/bin/g++
MAIN_LDFLAGS=-Wl,-brtl
SHLIB_LDFLAGS=-Wl,-G
CFLAGS='-g -O'
FFLAGS='-O'
CXXFLAGS='-g -O'
bash-3.00$ ./configure --disable-nls
...
R is now configured for powerpc-ibm-aix5.2.0.0
Source directory: .
Installation directory: /usr/local
C compiler: /usr/local/bin/gcc -mno-fp-in-toc -g -O
C++ compiler: /usr/local/bin/g++ -g -O
Fortran compiler: /usr/local/bin/gfortran -O
Interfaces supported: X11
External libraries: readline
Additional capabilities: MBCS
Options enabled: R profiling
Recommended packages: yes
After make, I can run R-2.2.1 from its build directory but I get the following
X11 module loading error when trying to plot
> plot(1:10)
Error in X11() : X11 module cannot be loaded
In addition: Warning message:

This error didn't occur for R-2.0.1 which passes make check using the above
config.site settings on the same AIX 5.2.
Searching the archives on R-devel for similar AIX problems, I tried a diff
between the X11 makefiles for R-2.0.1 and R-2.2.1
diff ~/src/R-2.0.1/src/modules/X11/Makefile
~/src/R-2.2.1/src/modules/X11/Makefile
54c54
< $(SHLIB_LINK) -o $@ $(R_X11_la_LDFLAGS) $(R_X11_la_OBJECTS)
$(R_X11_la_LIBADD) $(LIBS)
---
> $(SHLIB_LINK) -o $@ $(R_X11_la_LDFLAGS) $(R_X11_la_OBJECTS)
> $(R_X11_la_LIBADD)
...
Adding $(LIBS) at the end of line 54 in the R-2.2.1 X11 makefile caused the
loading error above to go away, but I don't know if this is what I should be
doing ...
After editing that makefile, I was able to plot in R-2.2.1 but eventually
encountered a similar error on the vfonts module during make check
> Vf <- c("serif", "plain")
> text(4, 2, "\\#J2438\\#J2421\\#J2451\\#J2473", vfont = Vf)

A diff on the R-2.0.1 and R-2.2.1 vfonts module makefiles,
diff ~/src/R-2.0.1/src/modules/vfonts/Makefile
~/src/R-2.2.1/src/modules/vfonts/Makefile
51c51
< $(SHLIB_LINK) -o $@ $(vfonts_la_LDFLAGS) $(vfonts_la_OBJECTS)
$(vfonts_la_LIBADD) $(LIBS)
---
> $(SHLIB_LINK) -o $@ $(vfonts_la_LDFLAGS) $(vfonts_la_OBJECTS)
> $(vfonts_la_LIBADD)
...
I added $(LIBS) at the end of the R-2.2.1 vfonts makefile, and the above error
went away the next time I ran make check.
So, where I am currently at is that I can get R-2.2.1 to pass make check on my
AIX 5.2 with the above two makefile edits, but I am not sure how harmful that
may be overall ...
E.g. the plots I now get in R-2.2.1, after editing the X11 and vfonts
makefiles, appear with darker axis labels and tick marks than in R-2.0.1, say.
Any advice to help clean things up would be greatly appreciated. I would be
happy to provide any additional details.
Thanks,
