Hi.

Just wanted to let you know I am getting close to packaging R for AIX in
64.bit mode.

Which version? (You mentioned 3.1.3 and 3.2.2 far below.) There is little value in reporting on frozen branches, and most value in reporting on R-devel where all the current changes have been incorporated.

One comment - the libtool.m4 I see used is quite old. The one I have on my
system is 2.4.6, and what I see in R says:

R-devel has 2.4.6 .

I am hoping a new libtool will clean up most of the manual work now needed.

But libtool is hardly used in building R.

# Which release of libtool.m4 was used?
macro_version=2.2.6
macro_revision=1.3012

This may be all that is needed to cleanup what I am doing manually.

working with gcc I have done the following for 64-bit building

export OBJECT_MODE=64
export CFLAGS="-maix64 -O2"
export FFLAGS="-maix64 -O2"

See the manual: flags such as -maix64 should be part of CC, not CFLAGS. That explains a lot of what was reported. Specifically, https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-patched/R-admin.html#Essential-programs-and-libraries and https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-patched/R-admin.html#AIX .

It is safer to put such things on the configure command line or in a config.site file (they will be found when updating if you do).

[Lots of test output removed.]
