Subject: [Rd] any suggestions to deal with 'Argument list too long' for a R
	CMD check?
Message-ID: <8ec76080812091313q1b9cb41dyae03d46466170436@mail.gmail.com>

Since, gcc was using upwards of 2gb of ram to compile my package, I
just split all the functions into individual files.

I guess I'm too clever for myself, because now I get hit with the
"Argument list too long" error.

Is there a way to deal with this aside from writing my own configure
script (which could possibly feed the gcc commands one by one).
