INSTALL configure, build and install R-2.0.0 (2004-10-04) with ./configure --with-blas='-framework vecLib' --with-lapack --with-aqua make sudo make install "--with-aqua" is needed also for this Cocoa version. The R.app will init R with argument "--gui=cocoa" Once you have the R.framework installed in /Library/Frameworks, you can build R.app Building R.app ================ This project has been produced with XCode 1.5 - update your XCode if necessary. The project can be built by selecting "R" target and "Build" inside the XCode GUI. To build the project from the command line in Mac-GUI directory use: xcodebuild -target R -buildstyle Deployment To build the R for Mac OS X Faq use either xcodebuild -target Docs or manually in docs folder makeinfo -D UseExternalXrefs --html --force --no-split RMacOSX-FAQ.texi In any case the resulting html FAQ file can be found in Mac-GUI/docs directory. NOTE: To run R.app from inside the XCode debugger, you have to setup the R_HOME environment variable. Proceed as follows: * Select the "R" executable (in Groups & Files view: R -> Executables -> R) * choose "Info" (shortcut: ) * Click the "Arguments" tab, in the lower list (Variables ..) use (+) and set R_HOME to /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources Building R.app against R-2.1.x (r-devel) ========================================== In R-2.1.x two new headers have been introduced to support GUIs and embedding. In particular, ptr_Raqua_Edit has been replaced by a generic ptr_R_EditFile. This means that ptr_Raqua_edit no longer exists in 2.1.x and viceversa, old (2.0.0) R.app won't be able to find the symbol ptr_R_EditFile. -- Last update: 2004-10-22
