On a fresh svn checkout in a fresh directory, following up on 'configure' (with many options, pointer to exact invocation below) by 'make' ends in tears:

Running 'cd src; make' builds R. The exact details are in this file: https://github.com/rocker-org/rocker/blob/master/r-devel/Dockerfile Some of the standard build commands are prefixed by Docker commands such as RUN which you can ignore. It also fails when I run the same commands manually. Needless to say, this used to work just fine. Re-running 'make' then works. When I tried to code this up, it fell over for lack a SVN stamp ... Looking at the svn log the likely culprit may be this as it is most recent, I am however not sure why NEWS.rds would get in the way. root@09c079b7388b:/tmp/R-devel/doc# svn di -r68786 Makefile.in Index: Makefile.in =================================================================== --- Makefile.in (revision 68786) +++ Makefile.in (working copy) @@ -28,7 +28,7 @@ Makefile: $(srcdir)/Makefile.in $(top_builddir)/config.status @cd $(top_builddir) && $(SHELL) ./config.status $(subdir)/$@ -R: Makefile svnonly +R: Makefile svnonly NEWS.rds @for d in $(SUBDIRS); do \ (cd $${d} && $(MAKE) $@) || exit 1; \ done root@09c079b7388b:/tmp/R-devel/doc# The problem does manifest itself when the svn directory is not 'fresh' as in the case of the Docker builds as ../bin/R exists from the previous builds.
