| These files are shell and perl scripts used for configuring/building R. | |
| They are not required at run time, and hence not installed. | |
| The files are as follows. | |
| config.guess | |
| config.sub | |
| auxiliary scripts for configure. | |
| From https://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.guess;hb=HEAD etc | |
| config.rpath | |
| from gettext 1.18.1.1 sources. Modified here to allow for FreeBSD 10.x. | |
| install-sh | |
| mdate-sh | |
| missing | |
| standard tools from GNU autoconf. Taken from the autoconf CVS | |
| (pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/autoconf, module | |
| 'autoconf'). | |
| install-sh may be set by configure as a substitute for the | |
| 'install' program. | |
| missing may be set by configure as a substitute for various GNU programs. | |
| mdate-sh is not currently used. | |
| GETCONFIG | |
| create API 'Rconfig.h' from the configure information in | |
| 'config.h'. | |
| GETDISTNAME | |
| get the name of the distribution tarball. | |
| GETMAKEVAL | |
| get the value of a Make variable from a Makefile [this needs to | |
| be improved]. Used by configure. | |
| GETVERSION | |
| create API 'Rversion.h' from 'VERSION' and 'SVN-REVISION'. | |
| copy-if-change | |
| copy a file if changed; otherwise, do nothing. | |
| getsp.java | |
| Java source for share/java/getsp.class used for extracting | |
| system properties when detecting Java support in R CMD | |
| javareconf. We don't require the existence of a Java | |
| compiler, so we need to supply the compiled version as well. | |
| help2man.pl | |
| generate simple manual pages from program output. Taken from | |
| the GNU help2man package (ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/help2man/). | |
| Used for a maintainer-mode build only: requires Perl. | |
| install-info.pl | |
| create or update entry in Info directory. Taken from the Debian | |
| GNU/Linux stable distribution in 2001. Only used if a suitable | |
| install-info program is not found: requires Perl. | |
| ldAIX4 | |
| writes an export file, assembling the exported symbols by | |
| reading the output of nm. This file is needed on AIX (4.2 and | |
| later) to compile shared libs. | |
| link-recommended | |
| create links with simplified names to the recommended packages. | |
| ltmain.sh | |
| provide generalized library-building support services. Taken | |
| from Libtool 2.2.6a. | |
| move-if-change | |
| move a file if changed; otherwise, remove. | |
| rsync-recommended | |
| obtain sources for the recommended packages using rsync, and then | |
| create links with simplified names to these. | |
| updatefat | |
| updates a fat file by adding a new architecture (macOS only) | |
| it is essentially a smart wrapper for "lipo". (No longer used.) | |
| GETCONFIG, GETVERSION, copy-if-change and move-if-change are used on Windows, | |
| and require cmp, cp, echo, expr, grep, mv and sed. |
