Re: [R-SIG-Mac] Building R-devel from source (solved)
OK, I now got a clang7 build running on a machine here too. Simon, if you are listening: The alternative instructions to installing SDK to /usr/include seems to be incomplete. With CPPFLAGS="-isysroot /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/include" I got a succesful compile, but the link phase dies looking for -lSystem or somesuch. I.e., I think something needs to happen with LDFLAGS as well. This of course only shows up if you do not install the SDK to /usr/include. -pd > On 19 Aug 2019, at 11:54 , Göran Broström wrote: > > Here is the report I promised. I followed the path below: > > 1.

Re: [R-SIG-Mac] Building R-devel from source (solved)
Here is the report I promised. I followed the path below: 1. Got source from CRAN. 2. Read instructions under "Download R for (Mac) OS X" (shouldn't that read "Download R for macOS" nowadays?). Especially the note Important: "If you wish to compile R packages ..., see the tools directory." 3. In the tools directory: Download and install clang-7.0.0.pkg (I see now that I should have chosen clang-8.0.0 for R 3.7.0, which is R-devel?). Also download and install gfortran-6.1.pkg (It says: "To be used with El Capitan builds of R.", which worried me a little, since I am on High Sierra, but there were no alternatives.) With this setup I got my first reported error. Thanks to Peter, I went on to https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/Radmin.html#macOS, where I read -- One way to use these builds with a binary distribution of R is to have a ~/.R/Makevars file similar to (El Capitan) FC = /usr/local/gfortran/bin/gfortran FLIBS = -L/usr/local/gfortran/lib/gcc/x86_64-apple-darwin15/6.1.0 -L/usr/local/gfortran/lib -lgfortran -lquadmath -lm or (Sierra or High Sierra) FC = /usr/local/gfortran/bin/gfortran FLIBS = -L/usr/local/gfortran/lib/gcc/x86_64-apple-darwin16/6.3.0 -L/usr/local/gfortran/lib -lgfortran -lquadmath -lm -- I naively chose the "Sierra or High Sierra" alternative, but that was wrong as you can see: It apparently refers to gfortran 6.3, so I switched to the the "El Capitan" alternative. The final error message was then something about 'unable to compile mixed C and Fortran code', and that was fixed by changing LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/clang7/lib -L/usr/local/lib" to LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/clang7/lib -L/usr/local/gfortran/lib -L/usr/local/gfortran/lib/gcc/x86_64-apple-darwin15/6.1.0" and voila, ./configure run without complaints! The later build also went smoothly (but I had to install java). So, to sum up, there seems to be some discrepancy between the two instruction sets I tried to follow.
