OS: Solaris 2.7
Submission from: (NULL) (170.140.252.158)
The Makefile in src/library gets the following error from our Solaris 2.7 make
when making 'docs':
make: Fatal error: Don't know how to make target `*/man/*.Rd'
Current working directory R-release/src/library
It doesn't seem to appreciate shell wildcards in the dependencies.
It's been a while since I've done Makefiles, but here are my diffs
that got it working. Thanks for such fantastic software!

Thanks for such fantastic software!That is an unreleased version, and I guess bug.report() needs to extract a date for snapshot versions for reports to be useful (if 0.63.4 is genuine). Two comments: 1) This has already been changed a couple of days ago, together with the other places which were giving problems. 0.64.0 (the next release due) builds and checks correctly for me using Sun 5.x make. (So does the current 0.63.4 snapshot.) 2) If you had read the INSTALL file you would have seen that this was mentioned _and_ the workaround (use GNU make, not version 3.77) was given. (The INSTALL file has been changed since to reflect 1.) As you are into trying pre-release software, please try 0.64 (R-devel) and let us know if you have any problems with that. -- Brian D.
