| 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. |
