Platforms with MSB (Most Significant Byte)

[virgil@uv.es]

Hi,

I asked some days ago how to guess the o.s. the machine is running. I
found that it is stored in a variable called  R_PLATFORM. Now I need a
full list of  all the values this variable can have because I need to set
an option  depending on the endianness of the platform in which we are
compiling the package.

 Anyone can help me? Thanks,

             Virgilio Gómez Rubio

Subject: Guessing o.s. during installation

Hello,

 I would like to know how R can guess the operating system the machine is
running during the installation of a package. Besides, if the o.s. is SUN
I need to add an option to the compiling command (a define).

Regards and thanks,

VIrgilio
