-------------------------------+------------------------------------
When running a `make` of Sage on Cygwin the build fails upon installation
of R. I will attach the full log, but the relevant error is:
{{{
make[4]: Entering directory
'/home/embray/src/sagemath/sage/local/var/tmp/sage/build/r-3.2.4-revised.p0/R-revised/src/library/Recommended'
begin installing recommended package MASS
INSTALL: unknown option -- pkglock
Try 'INSTALL --help' for more information.
Makefile:51: recipe for target 'MASS.ts' failed
make[4]: *** [MASS.ts] Error 1
make[4]: Leaving directory
'/home/embray/src/sagemath/sage/local/var/tmp/sage/build/r-3.2.4-revised.p0/R-revised/src/library/Recommended'
Makefile:39: recipe for target 'recommended-packages' failed
}}}
`--pkglock` is an argument to the `INSTALL` script for installing R
packages. But it seems it's been passed in as literally `-- pkglock`
(with a space). Not sure why.
This issue also raises the question again about whether to make R an
optional package (as well as whether to allow Sage to use a system install
of R).
