Duplicate #45738 has a patch.

I haven't had a chance to test this on Yosemite and probably won't for a while yet (down to 1 mac and it's busy). Posts on R mailing lists suggest that for the most part everything works but some default behaviors are different.

Apple has made some changes to vecLib in OS X 10.10:

​https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/General/Reference/APIDiffsMacOSX10_10SeedDiff/index.html

that lead to a configuration error:

checking whether external BLAS is visible through libRblas... no checking can it be fixed by using -sub_umbrella... no configure: error: Cannot build Rblas shared library such that it makes external BLAS visible. An alternative is to use internal BLAS instead and replace libRblas.dylib with the external BLAS library after R is built.

The "fix" is to edit the Portfile and replace 'vecLib' with 'Accelerate'. With that change, R-3.1.2, builds under OS X 10.10.

After building R-3.1.2, I ran 'make check' in the build directory. All tests passed.

I suspect replacing 'vecLib' with 'Accelerate' will also work for other versions of OS X. It does work when building R-3.1.2 on an ancient G4 powerMac running OS X 10.5.8.

FWIW... I built R-3.1.2 on a G4 PPC running OS X 10.5.8 using macports-gcc-4.8 and the Apple objectiveC compiler. R-3.1.2, builds, runs, and tests 'OK'.

R-Portfile-take2.diff makes the change suggested by drjesacco@…. Works fine for me on Mavericks.

[kjellpk (Kjell Konis)]

Sorry this took so long. I tested the R 3.1.2 update on Yosemite and everything looks good (i.e., passes make check). I added a take3 version of the patch that removes the revision line that I accidentally left in take2. Please process asap.

Looks fine. r128946
