[R-SIG-Mac] Compiling packages from source under Mojave (10.14.x)

[Roy Mendelssohn - NOAA Federal]

I recently updated to Mojave and all of a sudden I was getting header not found errors when trying to compile packages.  I was pretty certain my Makevars files was correct,  as I had been compiling before the upgrade successfully,  and the compilers hadn't changed.

The following is in some of the docs,  but just in case it helps,  cause it took me awhile to find it,  after installing the Command Line Tools for Xcode,  you should run:

sudo installer -pkg \
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Packages/macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14.pkg \
 -target /

and voila packages that had failed to compile just a few minutes ago compiled successfully.

Hope this helps someone.

-Roy
