compile R as library

README.md

MOTIVATION

I'm trying to compile #RStat as a static library with the -fPIC flag (so I can use it within #java #jni)

DOWNLOAD AND COMPILE

rm -rvf  "TMP/R-4.3.2" TMP/jeter.tar.gz
mkdir -p TMP/R-4.3.2/lib/
wget -O TMP/jeter.tar.gz "https://pbil.univ-lyon1.fr/CRAN/src/base/R-4/R-4.3.2.tar.gz"
cd TMP && tar xfz jeter.tar.gz && rm jeter.tar.gz &&  cd R-4.3.2 && \
    CPICFLAGS=fpic FPICFLAGS=fpic CXXPICFLAGS=fpic SHLIB_LDFLAGS=shared  SHLIB_CXXLDFLAGS=shared  ./configure --enable-R-static-lib --prefix=/path/to/TMP --with-x=no --disable-BLAS-shlib && make
