On a fresh svn checkout in a fresh directory, following up on 'configure' (with many options, pointer to exact invocation below) by 'make' ends in tears: root at 09c079b7388b:/tmp/R-devel# make make[1]: Entering directory '/tmp/R-devel/doc/manual' creating RESOURCES creating FAQ creating doc/html/resources.html make[1]: Leaving directory '/tmp/R-devel/doc/manual' make[1]: Entering directory '/tmp/R-devel/m4' make[1]: Nothing to be done for 'R'. make[1]: Leaving directory '/tmp/R-devel/m4' make[1]: Entering directory '/tmp/R-devel/tools' make[1]: Nothing to be done for 'R'. make[1]: Leaving directory '/tmp/R-devel/tools' make[1]: Entering directory '/tmp/R-devel/doc' /bin/bash: line 2: ../bin/R: No such file or directory Makefile:48: recipe for target 'NEWS.rds' failed make[1]: *** [NEWS.rds] Error 127 make[1]: Leaving directory '/tmp/R-devel/doc' Makefile:60: recipe for target 'R' failed make: *** [R] Error 1 root at 09c079b7388b:/tmp/R-devel# Somehow ../bin/R is not made, but needed by doc/Makefile. Running 'cd src; make' builds R. The exact details are in this file: github.com/rocker-org/rocker/blob/master/r-devel/Dockerfile Some of the standard build commands are prefixed by Docker commands such as RUN which you can ignore. It also fails when I run the same commands manually. Needless to say, this used to work just fine. Re-running 'make' then works. When I tried to code this up, it fell over for lack a SVN stamp ... Looking at the svn log the likely culprit may be this as it is most recent, I am however not sure why NEWS.rds would get in the way. root at 09c079b7388b:/tmp/R-devel/doc# svn di -r68786 Makefile.in Index: Makefile.in ==================================================================--- Makefile.in (revision 68786) +++ Makefile.in (working copy) @@ -28,7 +28,7 @@ Makefile: $(srcdir)/Makefile.in $(top_builddir)/config.status @cd $(top_builddir) && $(SHELL) ./config.status $(subdir)/$@ -R: Makefile svnonly +R: Makefile svnonly NEWS.rds @for d in $(SUBDIRS); do \ (cd $${d} && $(MAKE) $@) || exit 1; \ done root at 09c079b7388b:/tmp/R-devel/doc# The problem does manifest itself when the svn directory is not 'fresh' as in the case of the Docker builds as ../bin/R exists from the previous builds.

Subdir make is such a pain! Top level Makefile has SUBDIRS = m4 tools doc etc share src tests ... @for d in $(SUBDIRS); do \ (cd $${d} && $(MAKE) R) || exit 1; \ done so building something in doc that relies on something built in src ends badly. Preliminary fiddling indicates that it might work to move doc after src in SUBDIRS, but the reverse (src to before doc) did not.

Preliminary fiddling indicates that it might work to move doc after src in SUBDIRS, but the reverse (src to before doc) did not. Per the (now deleted by you) diff, the NEWS.rds needs ../bin/R to be processed which is constructed only via src/ but now needed in doc/.

Certainly, thanks. And fortunes::fortune(112) still holds. Dirk -- dirk.eddelbuettel.com | @eddelbuettel | edd at debian.org
