在 CentOS-6.5 下使用源码安装的 R-3.6.0 在安装包的时候出现 "C++11 standard requested but CXX11 is not defined" 错误。下面是参考的解决方法。

解决方法：《"CXX11 is not defined" problem in MRO 3.4》

(Actually I vaguely remember encountering the same problem in MRO 3.3, and solved it using similar method. Unfortunately I didn’t write it down.)


Note: MRO means Microsoft R Open (previously Revolution R)


Recently I tried to set up the R development environment on a fresh Linux system, every thing went well until I hit this error installing xgboost:

Package installation error: "C++11 standard requested but CXX11 is not defined"After some Googling I found this Github issue. It appears to be a MRO-specific problem, and mjmg provided a working solution.

The gist is, replacing every "CXX1X" with "CXX11" in R compiler configuration files (System wide: ${R_HOME}/etc/Makeconf Per-user: ~/.R/Makevars) and fill in some values:

CXX11 = g++
CXX11FLAGS = -O2 -g $(LTO)
CXX11PICFLAGS = -fPIC
CXX11STD = -std=c++11


That's it!


我个人的解决方法是，直接修改 /Bioinfo/Pipeline/SoftWare/R/R-3.6.0/lib64/R/etc/Makeconf 文件，替换下面的内容：

CXX11 = g++
CXX11FLAGS = -O2 -g $(LTO)
CXX11PICFLAGS = -fPIC
CXX11STD =
