Hi all, I'm trying to compile R as a static library with the -fPIC flag so I can use it within java+JNI (is it only possible ?), but I cannot find the right flags in '.configure' to compile R this way. I tested various flags but I cannot find the correct syntax. for now, my latest attempt was ``` rm -rvf "TMP/R-4.3.2" TMP/tmp.tar.gz mkdir -p TMP/R-4.3.2/lib/ wget -O TMP/tmp.tar.gz "https://pbil.univ-lyon1.fr/CRAN/src/base/R-4/R-4.3.2.tar.gz"; cd TMP && tar xfz tmp.tar.gz && rm tmp.tar.gz && cd R-4.3.2 && \ CPICFLAGS=fpic FPICFLAGS=fpic CXXPICFLAGS=fpic SHLIB_LDFLAGS=shared SHLIB_CXXLDFLAGS=shared ./configure --enable-R-static-lib --prefix=/path/to/TMP --with-x=no --disable-BLAS-shlib && make ``` witch gives the following error during configure: ``` configure: WARNING: you cannot build info or HTML versions of the R manuals configure: WARNING: you cannot build PDF versions of the R manuals configure: WARNING: you cannot build PDF versions of vignettes and help pages make[1]: Entering directory 'R-4.3.2' configure.ac:278: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_CONDITIONAL If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow. See the Autoconf documentation. configure.ac:870: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_DISABLE_STATIC configure.ac:2226: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_LANGINFO_CODESET configure.ac:2876: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_NLS configure.ac:2880: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION configure.ac:2881: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_GNU_GETTEXT make[1]: *** [Makefile:49: configure] Error 1 ``` removing the XXXFLAGS=YYY and --prefix (?) allows R to be compiled but It's not loaded into java. ``` gcc -ITMP -I${JAVA_HOME}/include/ -I${JAVA_HOME}/include/linux \ -LTMP/R-4.3.2/lib `TMP/R-4.3.2/bin/R CMD config --cppflags` -shared -fPIC -o TMP/libRSession.so -g RSession.c TMP/R-4.3.2/lib/libR.a /usr/bin/ld: TMP/R-4.3.2/lib/libR.a(objects.o): warning: relocation against `R_dot_Method' in read-only section `.text' /usr/bin/ld: TMP/R-4.3.2/lib/libR.a(altrep.o): relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against symbol `R_NilValue' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/bin/ld: final link failed: bad value ``` Any idea ?
