[R-pkg-devel] avoiding .mod files

Dear Thomas,

My FORTRAN code to be used with deSolve contains a module dimmod. During
build a file called dimmod.mod is created in the src directory. I can
avoid this by including it in the .RBuildignore file, but when I submit
the package to CRAN, the package is rejected because it keeps creating
the dimmod.mod file. How do I solve this?

Kind regards,

Rampal Etienne

Hello, Rampal.

I use Fortran modules with my Delaporte package [1]. I clean them by
having a clean (actually two clean) routines in Makvars [2]. Perhaps
something like that would work for you.

Good Luck,

Avi
