[R] non-32-bit integer problem on SUN-Blade

[Jim Robison-Cox]

Hello,

  Perhaps this is a bug, but I thought I'd start with R-Help.

I'm trying to compile R-1.4.1 on a new Sun-Blade running Solaris 2.8
( I got it running with no problem on older SUNs)


I get the following error after doing the usual ./configure and make:
gcc -I. -I../../src/include -I../../src/include -I/usr/local/include
-DHAVE_CONFIG_H   -g -O2 -c arithmetic.c -o arithmetic.o
arithmetic.c:672: #error code requires that int have 32 bits
*** Error code 1

which is generated by the following lines in  src/main/arithmetic.c

#######################################################################
1. /* The tests using integer comparisons are a bit faster than the tests
   using doubles, but they depend on a two's complement representation
   (but that is almost universal).  The tests that compare results to
   double's depend on being able to accurately represent all int's as
   double's.  Since int's are almost universally 32 bit that should be
   OK. */

#ifndef INT_32_BITS
/* configure checks whehter int is 32 bits.  If not this code will
   need to be rewritten.  Since 32 bit ints are pretty much universal,
   we can worry about writing alternate code when the need arises.
   To be safe, we signal a compiler error if int is not 32 bits. */
# error code requires that int have 32 bits
#else
/* Just to be on the safe side, configure ought to check that the
   mashine uses two's complement. A define like
#define USES_TWOS_COMPLEMENT (~0 == (unsigned) -1)
   might work, but at least one compiler (CodeWarrior 6) chokes on it.
   So for now just assume it is true.
*/

So it seems that I now have 64 bit integers?
Has anyone else had this problem?
I did search the bugs list, and didn't find it.
R-Help archive shows a query:

  [R] [ 1.4.0] Compilation with 64 bits on Irix Luca.Toldo at merck.de (Mon
Jan 21 2002 -  14:44:16 CET)

which has no answer.

If it relates to the SGI build question from
[R] R in IRIX 64-bit Isaac Neuhaus (Mon Feb 04 2002 - 17:41:53 CET)
 I don't know how to translate the answers.

Help would be much appreciated.
Jim
