Hello,
I recently built a 64-bit R 2.10.1 on OpenSolaris using the
Sun Studio 12.1 compilers. I would like to contribute the
following notes, to update the OpenSolaris installation
instructions.
================================================
0. GNU libiconv and GNU gettext are assumed to be in /opt/lib.
GNU libiconv is easy to build from source. After
building it, configure gettext like this:
configure --prefix=/opt/lib --with-included-gettext
CC=cc CFLAGS=-m64 LDFLAGS=-lsec
make
pfexec make install
1. export PATH=/opt/lib/bin:$PATH
2. Edit R's configure in *three* places to add the 2nd
${CFLAGS} below:
if ${CC} ${CFLAGS} -c conftest.c 1>&5 2>&5; then
## <NOTE>
## This should really use MAIN_LD, and hence come after
this is
## determined (and necessary additions to MAIN_LDFLAGS
were made).
## But it seems that we currently can always use the C
compiler.
## Also, to be defensive there should be a similar test
with SHLIB_LD
## and SHLIB_LDFLAGS (and note that on HPUX with native
cc we have to
## use ld for SHLIB_LD) ...
if ${CC} ${CFLAGS} ${LDFLAGS} ${MAIN_LDFLAGS} -o
conftest${ac_exeext} \
conftest.${ac_objext} conftestf.${ac_objext} ${FLIBS} \
${LIBM} 1>&5 2>&5;
## </NOTE>
4. configure --prefix=/opt/R/2.10.1 --disable-nls
--enable-R-shlib
--with-libintl-prefix=/opt/lib
CC=cc CFLAGS='-O -m64 -xarch=native'
CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/lib/include
LDFLAGS='-m64 -L/opt/lib/lib -R/opt/lib/lib'
LIBS=-liconv CXX=CC CXXFLAGS='-O -m64 -xarch=native'
F77=f95 FFLAGS='-O -m64 -xarch=native'
R_BROWSER=opera R_PDFVIEWER=evince
5. The results of running the tests:
cd tests.
make test-Examples Ok
make test-Specific Ok
make test-Reg
running tests of plotting Latin-1
expect failure or some differences if not in a Latin or
UTF-8 locale
running code in 'reg-plot-latin1.R' ... FAILED
make test-Demo Ok
make test-Random Ok
make test-Internet Ok
=======================================================
