Hi.
Just wanted to let you know I am getting close to packaging R for
AIX in
64.bit mode.
Which version? (You mentioned 3.1.3 and 3.2.2 far below.) There is
little value in reporting on frozen branches, and most value in
reporting on R-devel where all the current changes have been
incorporated.
This report is based on R-3.2.2 I shall repeat asap with R-devel and
report any significant differences.
"A lot of hassle I fear - still not done" - so a brief update - and
question - is this change (since 2015-10-17) really needed?
R-devel update (compared to R-3.2.2)
configure is now requiring bzlib.h - no idea what adding the file
actually adds - but will do so.
I guess it is something someone added - when the real issue would be the
library to link to!
configure:35647: checking bzlib.h presence
configure:35647: gcc -maix64 -E -I/opt/buildaix/include -I/opt/include

And after adding that:

Seems a very specific bzip2 library is desired - 1.0.6 - not what the
message says!
BZ2_version():1.0.5, 10-Dec-2007
/* end confdefs.h. */
#include <stdio.h>
#ifdef HAVE_BZLIB_H
#include <bzlib.h>
#endif
int main() {
char *ver = BZ2_bzlibVersion();
fprintf(stderr,"BZ2_version():%s\n",ver); /* added by aixtools
for debugging */
exit(strcmp(ver, "1.0.6") < 0);
}
So, my question - is this REALLY needed (v1.0.6) as it may break many
locations!
Updating bzip2 to pass configure...
Now get:
root@x072:[/data/prj/cran/64/R-devel]./xxx
BZ2_version():1.0.6, 6-Sept-2010
And a repeat for lzma it seems... Again, is this really necessary
(versus convienent).

p.s. remember - this is something that has appeared since the R-devel of
17-10-2015! Has R changed in some way to really need all these extra
checks - versus - they were added for because they are used elsewhere?
