I tried putting a target that depends on FORCE into Makefile or Makevars in the src directory, but it is not being built. What sort of make magic do I need, and where do I put it in order to get R CMD INSTALL to run my code?
I don't think that's supported at all. I have successfully used this VeryUglyHack(TM) in the package's Makevars:
Oops - I just realized that it's a huge overkill for what you described (the application actually did matter - it involved generated c files). The generated files force make to re-make the target unconditionally when using phony target, but that's another story. Sorry for the noise - feel free to delete it :). Cheers, Simon
