Thanks, Ivan! I've been able to get quite far based on the code in data.table* which uses sed to generate the Makevars from the Makevars.in file. The new challenge is that the Makevars file needs to be deleted after building.
The approach I have now is a cleanup script with only rm -rf src/Makevars. This works *only* when --preclean or --clean is called. SO I'm not sure if it is a permanent solution. For example devtools::document() doesn't run the clean step nor does pkgbuild::compile_dll(). I may keep banging my head against the keyboard on this... * https://github.com/Rdatatable/data.table/blob/08e94b7f4af3fc4403959282bf81c490ebdf9e72/src/Makevars.in#L7 On Fri, Nov 8, 2024 at 12:04 PM Ivan Krylov <ikry...@disroot.org> wrote: > В Fri, 8 Nov 2024 11:44:15 -0800 > Josiah Parry <josiah.pa...@gmail.com> пишет: > > > Do you know of any good documentation on the use of Makevars.in with > > configure? > > A configure script for an R package could be any POSIX-compatible shell > script, including a hand-written one that substitutes strings using sed > [*], or even one that delegates to R [**].
