Motivation for this change

Building libR.a for static linking.

Care was taken to not modify the derivation to trigger mass rebuilds with the default arguments.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nix-review --run "nix-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

Just out of curiosity: why would you want to link R packages statically?

Just out of curiosity: why would you want to link R packages statically?

Linking the R interpreter library statically would allow to create single binaries that can interpret R scripts. My own end goal for that is to be able to link the Haskell packages inline-r and H statically for static-haskell-nix.

R's autoconf does not use the normal configure flags for that.
