Paul, I don't know if that helps, but incidentally I have compiled R successfully with spro12 for a v9 machine just yesterday and all you need is in the R-admin manual. For completeness these were the (main) flags: 'CXX=CC -m64' 'LDFLAGS=-L/opt/SUNWspro/lib/v9' 'CC=cc -xc99 -m64' 'CFLAGS=-O -xlibmieee -xarch=sparcvis' 'F77=f95 -m64' 'FFLAGS=-O4 -xarch=sparcvis' 'CXXFLAGS=-O -m64 -xarch=sparcvis' 'FC=f95 -m64' 'FCFLAGS=-O4 -xarch=sparcvis -libmil' 'SHLIB_CXXLDFLAGS=-G -lCstd' 'SHLIB_LDFLAGS=-shared' 'CPICFLAGS=-Kpic' 'FPICFLAGS=-KPIC' 'CXXPICFLAGS=-Kpic' 'FCPICFLAGS=- KPIC' Cheers, Simon PS: My tests so far show that R compiled with gcc 4.2.2 is faster than R compiled with the Sun's compilers, so I ended up using gcc instead as it's less painful and faster. > Here are the options I set in config.site: > ________________________________________________________________________ > _ > > R_PAPERSIZE=letter > CC="cc -m64" > CFLAGS="-xO5 -xlibmil -xmemalign=8s" > F77="f95 -m64" > FFLAGS="-xO5 -xlibmil -xmemalign=8s" > LDFLAGS="-L/opt/SUNWspro/lib/v9 -L/usr/local/lib" > CXX="CC -m64" > CXXFLAGS="-xO5 -xlibmil -xmemalign=8s" > FC="f95 -m64" > FCFLAGS="-xO5 -xlibmil -xmemalign=8s" > ________________________________________________________________________ > __ > > Here's the command invoking configure: > ________________________________________________________________________ > __ > > ./configure --with-blas --with-lapack --enable-BLAS-shlib > ________________________________________________________________________ > __ > > And here are the last several lines of the screen output from running > the configure script: > ________________________________________________________________________ > __ > > R is now configured for sparc-sun-solaris2.9 > > Source directory: . > Installation directory: /usr/local > > C compiler: cc -m64 -xO5 -xlibmil -xmemalign=8s > Fortran 77 compiler: f95 -m64 -xO5 -xlibmil -xmemalign=8s > > C++ compiler: CC -m64 -xO5 -xlibmil -xmemalign=8s > Fortran 90/95 compiler: f95 -m64 -xO5 -xlibmil -xmemalign=8s > Obj-C compiler: cc > > Interfaces supported: X11 > External libraries: readline, BLAS(SunPerf) > Additional capabilities: iconv, MBCS, NLS > Options enabled: shared BLAS, R profiling, Java > > Recommended packages: yes > > configure: WARNING: you cannot build the object documentation system > configure: WARNING: you cannot build DVI versions of the R manuals > configure: WARNING: you cannot build info or HTML versions of the R > manuals > configure: WARNING: you cannot build PDF versions of the R manuals > ________________________________________________________________________ > ____ > > I'm not concerned about not being able to build the manuals.
