Re: [Rd] R_SHARE_DIR not defined for use in tests/Makefile running under Windows

2008-04-11 Thread Tony Plate
Ok, thanks for the info. The reason I'm asking about this is that I'm trying to eliminate reasons for having a Makefile.win to accompany a Makefile in the tests directory of a package. I guess I can have /tests/Makefile conditionally set R_SHARE_DIR to $(R_HOME)/share if it is undefined. (asi

You seem to be confusing environment and make variables. I think '$(R_SHARE_DIR)' is never set by R makefiles (except when building R), but may be set by make from an environment variable. On all (recentish) systems where the share dir is not ${R_HOME}/share, ${R_SHARE_DIR} is set by the 'R' s
