The make variable $(R_SHARE_DIR) seems to be available for use in
tests/Makefile when running under Linux, but not Windows (R-2.6.2, R-2.6.1,
R-2.7.0 alpha 2008-04-06, under Windows XP 64 bit, built locally for 32 bit).
Is this intentional, or an oversight? Is it OK to use $(R_HOME)/share
instead (seems to work OK)?
I notice the following in /src/gnuwin32/front-ends/rcmdfn.c (from R-alpha
2008-04-06), which would suggest that the intention was that R_SHARE_DIR
should be defined... (and I assume it would propagate to to be available in
a Makefile.)
int rcmdfn (int cmdarg, int argc, char **argv)
{
/* tasks:
find R_HOME, set as env variable
set R_SHARE_DIR as env variable
set PATH to include R_HOME\bin
set PERL5LIB to %R_SHARE_DIR%/perl;%Perl5LIB%
set TEXINPUTS to %R_SHARE_DIR%/texmf;%TEXINPUTS%
set HOME if unset
launch %R_HOME%\bin\$*
