• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Andrew Savchenko 2009-05-02 22:03:41 UTC]

With USE="-X" (or configured with key --with-x=no) R-2.9.0 fails to build:

This is known bug (PR#13665), and it is fixed in R svn:
http://www.nabble.com/R-build-fails-during-make-when-configured-with-"--with-x=no"-(PR-13665)-td23133399.html

Proposed patch fixes it for R-2.9.0 release.

Invoking Andrew`s R-2.9.0-without-x.patch in the ebuild

The empty loop bug blocks the install, but
Andrew`s patch works fine.

Can someone put it in dev-lang/R/files,
update the ebuild (R-2.9.0.ebuild.patch)
and update the Manifest (ebuild R-2.9.0.ebuild digest)?
