Hello, I am developping an R aware version of apache ant, so that you can run R code within an ant build script. This will make the compilation of java source from one package that depends on java code from another package easier, etc ... But I can not build it on the mac platform.
If I see it correctly, you don't need native compilation for each architecture, because the resulting code should be platform- indemendent (Java-classes). Also you're not really building any dynamic library to load in R. If both are correct, you can for example use configure instead of src/Makevars to build your Java code since this a) guarantees that it is run only once b) doesn't trigger the SHLIB building so you do't need a fake .so.

Could someone from this list try to build it. The package is source-controlled on r-forge : $ svn checkout svn://svn.r-forge.r-project.org/svnroot/orchestra/pkg/ant $ R CMD build ant # R CMD INSTALL ant_0.0-3.tar.gz The log file from r-forge shows partial success: http://r-forge.r-project.org/R/?group_id=504&add_log=check_x86_32_mac&pkg=ant&flavor=patched&type=00install.out I think the relevant part of the file is this : ** arch - ppc /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/bin/Rscript ../exec/ant.R --installer Java for ppc cannot run in this configuration. Please consult documentation. Error in .jinit() : Cannot create Java virtual machine (-1) Calls: .jinit -> .External Execution halted make: *** [mylibs] Error 1 ERROR: compilation failed for package 'ant' and this is probably related to my Makevars file. I don't have myself access to a mac and would appreciate feedback, so that I can release the package on CRAN.
