Dear R package developers I published a package on CRAN last year (sundialr) which is now failing with as it is not make to compile a static library with parallel make.
In this package, I compile a static library (libsundials_all.a) from source files of a third party. The specifics of compiling the static library can be found at - https://github.com/sn248/sundialr/blob/master/src/Makevars Now, I got the following error message from CRAN (actually, I was informed of this before, but had neglected to fix it). Here is the message from one of the CRAN maintainers .. *************************************************************************************************************************************** This have just failed to install for me with a parallel make: g++ -std=gnu++98 -std=gnu++98 -shared -L/data/blackswan/ripley/extras/lib64 -L/usrlocal/lib64 -o sundialr.so cvode.o RcppExports.o -L/data/blackswan/ripley/R/R-patched/lib -lRlapack -L/data/blackswan/ripley/R/R-patched/lib -lRblas -lgfortran -lm -lquadmath -L../inst/ ../inst/libsundials_all.a g++: error: ../inst/libsundials_all.a: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [/data/blackswan/ripley/R/R-patched/share/make/shlib.mk:6: sundialr.so] Error 1 ***************************************************************************************************************************************** It seems the package fails to generate the static library with the parallel make. The easiest solution I could think of for this problem was to force a serial version of make using the .NOTPARALLEL phony command in Makevars and Makevars.win(https://github.com/sn248/sundialr/blob/master/src/Makevars). I have made this change and it seems to work on my machine and on testing with TravisCI and Appveyor(https://github.com/sn248/sundialr). However, before I re-submit to CRAN, I wanted to get an opinion as to will this be enough to get rid of the error with parallel make? Any suggestions would be very much appreciated, thank you!
