[Rcpp-devel] RcppParallel on Solaris

[JJ Allaire]

Thanks Jeroen!

Does the ORD version of R use GNU make? (I think we need that for the
RcppParallel makefile). If it doesn't, Gábor do you know if there is a
straightforward way to force it to use GNU make? (or as Jeroen
hypothesizes does CRAN use gcc when testing packages that have GNU
make as a SystemDependency?)
