R devel - Jan 2019 - R_MAKEVARS_SITE for multiple archs

Dear all,

is there a way to set R_MAKEVARS_SITE (or something else), so that R
finds Makevars.site for multiple archs?

AFAICT the only option is to put the arch directories in R.home(). But
I might be missing something.

My goal is to set different make variables for 32-bit and 64-bit R on
Windows, without modifying R.home().

Thank you,
Gabor

I guess the user level makevars is just as good, from the admin manual:
> The R system and package-specific compilation flags can be overridden or
added to by setting the appropriate Make variables in the personal file
HOME/.R/Makevars-R_PLATFORM (but HOME/.R/Makevars.win or HOME/.R/Makevars.win64
on Windows), or if that does not exist, HOME/.R/Makevars,
This should do.
