I had the similar issue on ppc64le when trying to package R 4.0.0 for ALT Linux Sisyphus. Disabling long double support indeed fixes the build of the binaries, but then the build fails in the tests section (make check) with violated assertions in some basic tests results. Do you also have this problem, and is there a better solution to this issue on ppc64le yet? -- KM __ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel

The problem is that machine characteristics detection does not work with long double on ppc64el, it falls into an infinite loop.

That should allow builds to complete, hopefully, so that we can look into get the build from 'experimental' into 'unstable' and the distro proper. In the meantime, there are alternative venues for getting R 4.0.0 binaries for Debian and Ubuntu as previously mentioned.

I don't think compiler was involved, it was just the next thing after sysdata.rda, so a suspect at some point. -pd > On 30 Apr 2020, at 16:11 , luke-tier...@uiowa.edu wrote: > > On Thu, 30 Apr 2020, Dirk Eddelbuettel wrote: > >> >> On 30 April 2020 at 09:42, Iñaki Ucar wrote: >> | On Thu, 30 Apr 2020 at 02:49, Dirk Eddelbuettel wrote: >> | > And to keep the list abreast, this appears to be related to the long >> double >> | > issue on powerpc where needed an extra #define to ensure compilation. >> That >> [...] >> | Which reminds me that [1] was required for v3.6.2.
