Compiling R's source code on Linux

[jrgp]

I would really like to compile R on linux.

I tried with gcc (gcc game.cpp) and got this.

Does anyone know how or what libraries I would need to do this?


FliesLikeABrick and I attempted compiling R and tried a lot of things to get it to compile without errors.
Here is our chatlog.

The summary is that we installed SDL on his machine, fixed references to SDL.h to be SDL/SDL.h, downloaded a copy of fmod and pointed gcc to it with -I /path/to/fmod, and then cleaned up a few warnings.

Right now there are still quite a few errors left, and I'm not sure what is causing them .  I have a feeling it is because gcc is more strict by default than whatever MM and rfreak are using.  If we could fix the code that'd be nice, but if someone knows the option for gcc to ignore these (assuming I know what I'm talking about), that'd work for now as well.

can I send to one of you my code of R that's not using Fmod because I looked at the errors and there's some of them caused by Fmod

[FliesLikeABrick]

isn't SDL opengl based?

[rfreak]

no. you can use openGL with SDL but SDL is a library by it's own
and R only uses SDL

[FliesLikeABrick]

Oh, ok.

Here's what you need for R (I will say it so every one can read and learn  )

SDL:

For SDL to code games you need the development library http://www.libsdl.org/download-1.2.php
you go under "Development Libraries:" and choose the one you need if you use linux you choose linux.

FMOD: www.fmod.org

this one is the most triky because if you use Visual C++ on windows you wont have problem but for other compilers you can have problem I know that Fmod with C++ games dosent work under Dev-cpp and I don't know if it work's for the linux compiler maybe only in C and we are using C++
so to solve this use the code that dosent use fmod I can send it to you.

Hey I have registered on these forums as well, I didn't remember that. 

Where can I get R's source code? I never played it and I want to give it a go (on Linux of course).

Edit: Hey there's a link in a sticky. But the link doesn't work.

Hello? Is this forum dead?
