[R-sig-Fedora] No rule to make target all.R, needed by compiler.rdb building R 3.4.1 from source, Scientific Linux release 6.9 (Carbon)

[Jaime Alvarez Benayas]

Hello,

I am trying to build R from source on Scientific Linux release 6.9
(Carbon), Linux version 2.6.32-696.3.2.el6.x86_64 (Red Hat 4.4.7-18).

I load the needed modules and run:

*./configure --prefix $install_dir --with-blas --with-lapack
--enable-R-shlib 2>&1 | tee config-R-$version.log*




The "configure" command seems to run ok:

*R is now configured for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu*

*  Source directory:          .*
*  Installation directory:    /fastdata/mbp15ja/R-3.4.1*

*  C compiler:                gcc
 -I/usr/local/packages6/compilers/gcc/5.4.0/include*
*  Fortran 77 compiler:       gfortran  -g -O2*

*  Default C++ compiler:      g++   -g -O2*
*  C++98 compiler:            g++  -g -O2*
*  C++11 compiler:            g++ -std=gnu++11 -g -O2*
*  C++14 compiler:            g++ -std=gnu++14 -g -O2*
*  C++17 compiler:*
*  Fortran 90/95 compiler:    gfortran -g -O2*
*  Obj-C compiler:*

*  Interfaces supported:      X11, tcltk*
*  External libraries:        readline, curl*
*  Additional capabilities:   PNG, JPEG, NLS, cairo*
*  Options enabled:           shared R library, shared BLAS, R profiling*

*  Capabilities skipped:      TIFF, ICU*
*  Options not enabled:       memory profiling*

*  Recommended packages:      yes*



I encountered an error running "make -n" with the libtre library not
generating libtre.a:

I read in here https://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1IV36656 that
the library isn't supposed to make libtre.a and that they assume the file
they are looking for is libtre.so
I therefore built the libtre and linked libtre.so from the library
to src/extra/tre/libtre.a and now the make




"make -n" now fails with:

I haven't seen anything regarding *all.R and *
*../../../library/compiler/R/compiler.rdb*


Thanks in advance!
