Subject: (PR#6815): build fails for foreign with Sun Forte
In-Reply-To: <20040428142823.5A6711041E@slim.kubism.ku.dk>
There is nothing here to reproduce, as *we* said earlier! We need the
exact details (OS, compilers, R version, make version, environmental
variables, configure command line etc) just to document the problem. You
have not mentioned what goes wrong nor given any error messages.
To repeat, R 1.9.0 *does* build on Sun Solaris 8 and 9 using the Sun Forte
7 aka Pro One compilers. The problem is something about your setup, and
in particular is the separate installation works it looks like a bug in
either your make or your shell -- so exactly which versions are they?
