[Rcpp-devel] Help needed for clang++ testing on OS X and Linux

[Steve Lianoglou]

Hi Dirk,

Running OSX.8.2, R 2.15.1 (x86_64)

$ clang++ --version
Apple clang version 4.0 (tags/Apple/clang-421.0.60) (based on LLVM 3.1svn)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin12.2.0
Thread model: posix

I rigged up ~/.R/Makevars to set clang++ to be the compiler and Rcpp
v0.9.14.2 installed fine -- for some reason it failed on the i386
architecture, but built find on x86_64, but I don't pay attention to
i386 much these days, so perhaps it's something wonky on my end.

I also ran the unit tests. While they were running, I saw some
"error"s fly by, but perhaps these were expected errors, because:

$ head Rcpp-unitTests.txt

RUNIT TEST PROTOCOL -- Sun Oct  7 23:21:11 2012
***********************************************
Number of test functions: 279
Number of errors: 0
Number of failures: 0


1 Test Suite :
Rcpp unit testing - 279 test functions, 0 errors, 0 failures

HTH,
-steve
