Hello everybody,

when performing "R CMD check" on my package that contains the sourcecode of a third party C++ library, I get a warning telling me to avoid the usage of makefile extensions. Before going ahead and trying to temper with the library's build-process, I just wanted to ask how severe of a problem makefile extensions are. Is there a "gradient" i.e. makefile extensions can be tolerated to a certain degree and some are worse than others, or are they such a problem with regards to portability that you shouldn't use them at all?

With kind regards
Nils Lüschow
