I prepared a vm image to make testing on Solaris a bit easier. It is based of the official Oracle Solaris 11.2 VM template and includes two preinstalled versions of R, two compilers and some other software:
- Solaris Studio 12.3 - Oracle R Distribution aka ORD (uses Solaris Studio) - OpenCSW: * r_base (uses GCC) * gcc4g++ and gcc4gfortran * git * vim The image is distributed in the open ova format and should work in most virtualization environments. More information is available on http://bit.ly/r-solaris-readme. That said, I still have not figured out how to build Rcpp and RJSONIO with ORD/SolarisStudio. They compile without problems using r_base/gcc, but with ORD I still get the same errors described below. I would be very interested to learn how CRAN builds/tests these packages on Solaris.
