Subject: [R-pkg-devel] Why would src/Makevars be ignored?
Having a bit of a puzzle with a package at work (which I can't share).
In src/Makevars I override CC, CXX, CXX11, CXX14 to point to a specific
(version) of g++ on my system, say g++-x.y. I also set CXX_STD=CXX14
Only it doesn't work. I need an extra dot.RMakevars and an invocation via
R_MAKEVARS_USER=~/git/thatpackage/dot.RMakevars R CMD INSTALL .
or else the values from R's default Makeconf come through.
How could that be? I have invoked R CMD INSTALL probably thousands of times,
and most got it to what I wanted but setting values in it. What could be
wrong here?
R 3.4.2; Ubuntu 17.04.
Puzzled, Dirk
