[R-SIG-Mac] R compile from sources: error in make with gcc-4.7

[Simon Zehnder]

Hi Simon,

below you find my configure and my make output while building R from sources with gcc-4.7.1 and including aqua (I used the R-patched). 

1. (Configure) Output: http://pastebin.com/GJ5DZncU

2. (Make) Output: http://pastebin.com/SHZWgA4P

Best regards

Simon

I don't have the time to compile gcc from scratch right now and none of the usual suspects supports ObjC - that alone is a sign that no one really uses gcc on OS X (other than for ports) since Apple has abandoned it. My guess would be that the ObjC support is not as complete as in Apple's version - it's probably more geared toward GNUstep - but that's just a guess.
