R is an integrated suite of software facilities for data manipulation,
|
|
|
|
|
calculation and graphical display. Among other things it has

* a well developed, simple and effective programming language (called
|
|
|
|
|
`S') which includes conditionals, loops, user defined recursive

|
|
|
|
functions and input and output facilities. (Indeed most of the
|
|
|
|
|
system supplied functions are themselves written in the S language.)

If you do not need to build the R shared library (which is needed if
|
|
|
|
|
you would like to call R functions from other applications), execute
|
|
|
|
|
the script as R_SHLIB=no ./R.SlackBuild
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you do not need to build the BLAS shared library (which is useful
|
|
|
|
|
for swapping default unaccelerated BLAS for an accelerated one),
|
|
|
|
|
execute the script as BLAS_SHLIB=no ./R.SlackBuild
