You need to take this up with the package maintainers: although
recommended packages are distributed with R, they are still
contributed packages with separate maintainers.
At one point Matrix did work with a non-GNU make (the Solaris one)
after suggestions from R-core members on how to remove the obvious
GNUisms. It would cetainly be helpful to let the package maintainers
know what changes do work. (I presume the issue is
amd_i_%.o: amd_%.c $(INC)
$(CC) $(ALL_CPPFLAGS) $(ALL_CFLAGS) -I../Include -DDINT -c $<
-o $@
amd_l_%.o: amd_%.c $(INC)
$(CC) $(ALL_CPPFLAGS) $(ALL_CFLAGS) -I../Include -DDLONG -c $<
-o $@
which are new rules since I was able to test.)
Unfortunately I can no longer build Matrix (and hence R-devel) on
Solaris, as the Sun Studio compilers say some of the C++ code is
invalid (and it looks so to me, and I reported it a while back): the
file is spqr_front.cpp, so it has not got as far as the point that is
giving you trouble.

Dear developers,
today I tried to build and install R-devel_2009-01-10 on FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT

All went well until compiling the now recommended (integrated) Matrix
package. At this point the following break occured:

------------------------------------------------
Please note, that on FreeBSD there is a BSD 'make' as default. If I want to
use gmake instead, I explicitly have to set it. Unfortunately this does not
work within building the whole R-devel system.
It would be helpful to know why not. AFAIK GNU make works on other
platforms with their own make.
With R-2.8.1 I have no problems installing and using R. When I want to build
the (external) Matrix package I have to set an environment variable to gmake,
found at /usr/local/bin/gmake and all works well.
Now my question: Is it possible to change the configure/build of the
integrated Matrix package on R-devel? For all other packages there is no need
to do so (at least for FreeBSD ;-)
Please let me know if I can help.
Thanks in advance,
Rainer Hurling
