[R-pkg-devel] windows and configure scripts

[Tim Keitt]

As configure is not run on windows, but according to the writing extensions
docs you can run commands in Makevars, is that not preferable for simple
cases?

What shell is active in Makevars? Is it "/bin/sh" or is make the
interpreter here?

Can we use $(shell ...cmd...) in Makevars on windows? I'm not sure where to
look for what syntax is in-play in the Makevars file during package
building other than trial-and-error.
