I have setup a Solaris server to test packages before submitting to CRAN, in order to catch problems that might not reveal themselves on Fedora, Debian, OSX or Windows. The machine runs a Solaris 11.2 vm with Solaris Studio 12.3.
I was able to compile current r-devel using the suggested environment variables from "R Installation and Administration" and: ./configure --prefix=/opt/R-devel --with-blas='-library=sunperf' --with-lapack All works great (fast too), except for some CRAN packages with c++ code won't build. The compiler itself works, most packages (including e.g. MCMCpack) build OK. However packages like Rcpp and RJSONIO fail with errors shown here: https://gist.github.com/jeroenooms/f1b6a172320a32f59c82. I tried installing with GNU make, but that does not seem to be the problem configure.vars = "MAKE=/opt/csw/bin/gmake" I am aware that I can work around it by compiling with gcc instead of solaris studio, but I would specifically like to replicate the setup from CRAN. Which additional args/vars/dependencies do I need to make Rcpp and RJSONIO build as they do on the CRAN Solaris server? > sessionInfo() R Under development (unstable) (2015-01-07 r67351) Platform: i386-pc-solaris2.11 (32-bit) Running under: Solaris 11 locale: [1] C attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] tcltk_3.2.0 tools_3.2.0 ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
