alpha, portable use

5 messages · Brian Ripley, Paul Gilbert, Douglas Bates

#
When I build one of my packages with alpha from yesterday I am getting

* checking for portable use of $BLAS_LIBS ... WARNING
apparently missing $(FLIBS) in 'PKG_LIBS=$(LAPACK_LIBS) $(BLAS_LIBS)'

Is this something I should worry about?  (Possibly I got this before and 
didn't notice.)

I am still confused about this (and it is still happening with R-beta).
Writing R Extensions suggests I need a Makefile or Makevars in my
package,  but that has not been the case previously.  Is there now a
requirement that all packages need Makefiles or Makevars if there is 
fortran to be compiled?  This is only happening on one of my systems. 
Building R and make check work fine on that system, but it seems that 
not all the information gets passed along to package compiles.

(BTW, this is just a warning, but Kurt suggested we try to eliminate 
warnings.)

directory for your package.  The change in R-2.4.0 is that packages
that did have a Makevars file of the form

PKG_LIBS=$(LAPACK_LIBS) $(BLAS_LIBS)

should change that to

PKG_LIBS=$(LAPACK_LIBS) $(BLAS_LIBS) $(FLIBS)

I do indeed have a Makevars file after all. Thanks for spelling out the 
interpretation of the warning message.
