hello r development team, i'm building R 2.3.0 on solaris and when i run the 'make install' i'm getting a syntax error during the "installing etc ..." which causes the installation to fail. i get this error whether i use gnu-make of sun-make, see the error and reasons below.
gmake[1]: Entering directory `/export/medusa/darin/build/R-2.3.0/etc' installing etc ... /bin/bash: -c: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `;' /bin/bash: -c: line 1: `for f in ; do /opt/csw/bin/ginstall -c -m 644 ${f} "/export/home/darin/build/R-2.3.0/cswstage/opt/csw/lib/R/etc"; done' gmake[1]: *** [install] Error 2 gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/export/medusa/darin/build/R-2.3.0/etc' gmake: *** [install] Error 1 in etc/Makefile if i comment lines 60-62 make install continues without incident, here are those lines. @for f in $(EXPORTFILES); do \ $(INSTALL_DATA) $${f} "$(rhome)/$(subdir)"; \ done this has changed from R-2.2.1. diff etc/Makefile ../R-2.2.1/etc/Makefile" 60c52 < @for f in $(EXPORTFILES); do \ --- > @for f in $(OBJECTS) $(EXPORTFILES); do \ should i open a bug for this issue? i'm also curious as to if this has come up on other platforms. -- Darin Perusich Unix Systems Administrator Cognigen Corporation 395 Youngs Rd.
