[R] src/modules/Makefile.in: What is the (practical) difference betw. SUBDIRS and MODULES?
As the subject says, one has SUBDIRS = X11 gnome internet lapack vfonts MODULES = $(R_GUIS) internet lapack vfonts It is my understanding, that there is a 1:1 correspondence between subdirs and modules. If this were true, then one could use one of both in all places. Or do I overlook something here? -- Thomas Hoffmann Telephone: 49-351-4598831 thoffman at zappa.sax.de Dresden, Germany -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)

So there is on my Solaris system a gnome subdir but no gnome module. Your assumption of a 1:1 correspondence is incorrect for my system, which has R_GUIS = X11 in $(top_builddir)/Makeconf. MODULES is used for shared libraries to be made (to be dynamically loaded). SUBDIRS is used for things to be cleaned and to be distributed. One could argue that MODULES should be used for things to be cleaned, *BUT* that might have be changed by a re-configure, so SUBDIRS looks safer.
