R devel - Mar 2009 - Compile R Library with GCC garbage collection on or supported

Hi All,
I'm not that familiar with configure or make (more of a Java developer as a
dayjob) but I was wondering what the process would be to add the flag
-fobjc-gcc in the compilation of the R library for use in an Objective-C
application.  Can one simply drop this into the configure file somewhere?
Thanks,
Dave

First, I think you mean -fobjc-gc. Second, I'm not sure why you think  
it's needed, because R doesn't use any Obj-C itself so it won't have
any effect on the R library at all. Only your application needs to use  
it if it wishes to use the gc. Finally, you can always add flags via  
the usual environment variables for example OBJCFLAGS (see B.3 in R- 
admin and ./configure --help).
