Fix typo #13

Closed stewid closed 8 years ago

stewid commented 8 years ago

I think it is --configure-args, see the example in https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-devel/R-exts.html#Configure-example

jeroen commented 8 years ago

The manual page for R CMD INSTALL --help says:

      --configure-args=ARGS
            set arguments for the configure scripts (if any)
      --configure-vars=VARS
            set variables for the configure scripts (if any)

This configure script does not actually parse script arguments (as for autoconf scripts). It only uses environment variables. I just tested it by running:

R CMD INSTALL openssl_0.8.tar.gz --configure-vars='INCLUDE_DIR=/FOOBAR LIB_DIR=/FOOBAR'

And this does the expected thing:

Using PKG_CFLAGS=-I/FOOBAR
Using PKG_LIBS=-L/FOOBAR -lssl -lcrypto

Is it not working for you?

I'm quite sure this is correct :) Feel free to open an issue if something is not working for you!

Thanks for the explanation. I was not aware of --configure-vars and did not think of the difference between arguments to a configure script and autoconf scripts. I just assumed it was a typo when I read it, without actually testing :-)

I get the same result as you when I run

R CMD INSTALL openssl_0.8.tar.gz --configure vars='INCLUDE_DIR=/FOOBAR LIB_DIR=/FOOBAR'

Cheers
