I have been able to compile R on OpenBSD 3.[23] for the i386 platform
(still a.out at the moment).
There are problems with the naming convention for OpenBSD and the shared
libraries which prevents the build completing. I have included patches for
your consideration...I'm not an expert programmer and there may well be
better ways around the problem. I don't *think* my patches break the
configuration for other platforms.
I've also noticed a problem in building the .dvi manuals - I think it's a
texi2dvi problem - see patch below. Anyone else seen this?
Unfortunately I understand that R has another problem when being built on
an OpenBSD ELF platform. I have been unable to build it on the alpha (which
is an ELF platform), and I understand it does not build on OpenBSD-current
for i386, which will become the newest stable version in the next few
months. The OpenBSD-current for i386 will also be ELF. On the ELF platforms,
the build dies with the following error:
dumping R code in package 'methods'
Error in .Call("R_initialize_methods_metadata", table, PACKAGE = "methods") :
.Call function name not in load table
Execution halted
*** Error code 1
I believe this also happens on sparc64 OpenBSD. I *think* it's related to the
ELF format.
I have tried ensuring that the main link flags include "-Wl,-E" or
"-Wl,-export-dynamic", turning off optimisation, building with
"--enable-R-shlib", and ensuring that "-fPIC" is passed to the final link
stage in addition to "-shared".
Unfortunately none of the above seem to resolve the error. Does anyone have
any other suggestions, or suggestions of how to debug the problem further?
I'd love to have R running reliably on OpenBSD platforms other than i386.
Compiler is gcc version 2.95.3 20010125 (prerelease).
My patches for OpenBSD i386 follow:
