Subject: [Rd] VPATH build of R on MacOSX
Message-ID: <551AD711.7010608@oracle.com>

I am trying to do VPATH builds of R3.1.3, i.e. binaries built outside 
the source directory. It works just fine on Linux but on Mac OSX 
(Mavericks) I get the following trace from make, after a successful 
configure step. Any insights gratefully received. make is GNU make 3.81 
on both systems.

bash-3.2$ make
make
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `R'.
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `R'.
make[2]: Nothing to be done for `R'.
