Hello,

I am developping an R aware version of apache ant, so that you can run
R code within an ant build script. This will make the compilation of
java source from one package that depends on java code from another
package easier, etc ...

But I can not build it on the mac platform.

If I see it correctly, you don't need native compilation for each
architecture, because the resulting code should be platform-indemendent
(Java-classes).

correct

Also you're not really building any dynamic library to
load in R.

Embarrassingly correct

If both are correct, you can for example use configure
instead of src/Makevars to build your Java code since this a) guarantees
that it is run only once b) doesn't trigger the SHLIB building so you
do't need a fake .so.

Thanks. This is much better than the Makevars trick, too bad this
cannot be a configure.R script that gets executed by Rscript as R is
more likely installed than bash.

Am I right in assuming that the bash script can use ${R_HOME}


It doesn't have to be bash, but yes, it can use anything that is set by
R CMD (including ${R_HOME}).
(Note that you'll also probably need configure.win - likely it'll have
to be a bit different, but ${R_HOME} is accessible as well.)

Cheers,
Simon

Thanks. The script is pretty simple, so I guess it should work.

#!/bin/sh

cd inst/java_src
"${R_HOME}/bin/Rscript" ../../exec/ant.R --installer
