[R-pkg-devel] windows and configure scripts
Snarky answers aside, it's still a valid question whether it's not just cleaner in simple cases to run commands from the Makevars file as described in the extensions doc. Of course there's no particularly useful examples there and searching 'Makevars' on github (yes tried that) is not very illuminating as it's too generic. THK

If look closely enough at _Writing R Extensions_ you notice that it mentions 'configure.win' over half a dozen times. A powerful trick is to then use the fact that there are other packages on CRAN, in fact almost 18k of them. And e.g. this search https://github.com/search?q=org%3Acran+configure.win&type=code find 261 hits within the 'cran' mirror at GitHub for the term 'configure.win'. Some of those are likely of use to you. Dirk -- https://dirk.eddelbuettel.com | @eddelbuettel | edd at debian.org
