Thanks! While changing the definitions to $(CXX) did not work and resulted
in:
Running test_stack.R.................. 0 tests
/usr/lib/R/etc/Makevars.site:5: *** Recursive variable 'CXX' references
itself (eventually). Stop.
It did make me just say "be verbose", so I explicitly set each CXXNN
variable to clang++ as well as stating each one's explicit CXXNNSTD to be
the appropriate -std=c++NN and the result is:
[1] "All ok, 1541 results"
Woohoo! All tests using clang and gcc on WSL :thumbsup:
