The current INSTALL script calls ./configure if it exists when installing packages, but does not check the return value from configure. I have my configure script abort under certain conditions and it would be nice if the INSTALL script would stop at that point. Also, is there an autoconf macro for testing for gnu make?

I'll try to have something like this in after 0.99.0 is out (currently in feature freeze).> Also, is there an autoconf macro for testing for gnu make?No macro, and I would have my doubts whether you'd really want to test for that (we've been working very hard not to require GNU make for building R). But you could simply do moutput=`make -v 2>&1 | grep GNU` if test -n "${moutput}"; then GMAKE=yes else GMAKE=no fi -k -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-devel mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)
