I have uptodate Debian Buster on my Linux platform and have been compiling R distros for quite some time, usually with success. This time I have encountered the same error in my attempts to compile v-4..1.2 and then, when that failed, I had the same error with v-4.1.0. The error in both cases was: /home/comp/Downloads/R Packages/R-4.1.0/R-4.1.0/etc/Makeconf:10: Packages/R-4.1.0/R-4.1.0/share/make/vars.mk: No such file or directory. I don't have the faintest idea as to what is going on, and, even worse, I don't know how to fix it. Help will be greatly appreciated.
I think you'll need to describe what you did that led to this error. Duncan Murdoch
True, very true. Sorroy for the omission. ./configure /make
Hopefully Ivan's suggestion solves your problem. One thing I'd suggest: building in a different dir than the source. All you need is to put the source in some dir (e.g. "src"), switch to an empty dir, and run src/configure from there, followed by make. This makes for a cleaner separation of source and products.
