Problem compiling R-1.2.1 on OSF4.0

Dear all,

I'm running into trouble when I compile R-1.2.1 on the alphaev6-osf4.0 box
I'm using. I think I've resolved it, but just like to make sure I'm not
doing something stupid:

When running make, it stops at places saying
#make Permission denied
or something similar.
Grepping through Makefiles, I find that lines of the type
	@#$(MAKE) stamp-lo
and when I remove them, it compiles successfully. I assume that these are
commented out, but my make doesn't understand that for some reason, and
that's the reason for the problem. But of course, the # could play an
important role I'm not aware of, so I'm wondering: Am I right?

Best,

Kjetil

Argh.  What kind of make is that?

Anyway, if e.g. in src/appl/Makefile.in you change the line

	@@WANT_R_SHLIB_TRUE@$(MAKE) stamp-lo

to

	@WANT_R_SHLIB_TRUE@	@$(MAKE) stamp-lo

the problem disappears (in that dir), right?

One you confirm this I will change R-release-patched accordingly.

Best,
-k

I have no idea.... :-) It happens to be in /bin/make and that's pretty
early in my $PATH.

            

      
      
      
    

        
Yes it did! Eventually, it did, this was really very weird. I went back
and forth deleting and inserting white space, sometimes it worked,
sometimes it didn't. Well, in src/appl/Makefile.in it work at once, but
in src/main/Makefile.in it took me a long time. Guess that's /bin/make of
mine is a bit weird, eh...?

Best,
