[Rd] R 4.2.2 on Haiku

[Viechtbauer, Wolfgang (NP)]

Hi all,

Not sure if this is of interest to anybody, but with the help of some kind folks over at the #haiku channel on IRC, I finally got the current version of R to compile under the Haiku operating system (https://www.haiku-os.org):

Kate (https://kate-editor.org) makes for a workable IDE allowing for REPL-like interactivity. X11 support is lacking, so graphs are directly created as pdfs, but this is workable.

In case you want to give this a try, it's pretty much this:

pkgman install gcc_fortran bzip2_devel lrzip_devel xz_utils_devel libpcre2_devel libiconv_devel curl_devel readline_devel tiff4_devel libtool ncurses6_devel libpaper_devel lapack_devel tcl_devel xcairo_devel pangomm_devel

wget https://cran.r-project.org/src/base/R-4/R-4.2.2.tar.gz

tar -xzf R-4.2.2.tar.gz
cd R-4.2.2

export CPPFLAGS="-D_BSD_SOURCE"
export LIBS="-lnetwork -lbsd"

./configure --with-x=no --disable-java --enable-R-shlib --prefix=/boot/home/<wherever>
make
make install

Best,
Wolfgang
