Description
R.app is a graphical user interface for the R provided in R-framework port. The current version of the R.app port (1.42 svn 5933) needs the R-framework port to be version 2.14.0 so there is a diff attached to update that port too.

You originally submitted R-framework as R.framework and we decided that a dot was unusual in a port name. Can this port be R-app as well then?

I remember. I did check this time and there is already one port (Yap.app) that has a dot app extension. In contrast there are none that have dot framework. This time it's a little trickier because a lot of people refer to the R GUI as R.app (as in R dot app) and it's that port that I expect people will install -- the name of the R-framework port is not so important since it will get installed as a dependency. Anyway, I don't really understand why there is a preference (or rule? or guideline?) for not having dots in port names. If you prefer to have the port named R-app let me know and I will make the change.

I'm very keen to see this port make it into macports. I note some current dependency problems and workarounds that users might currently encounter:
# llvm-gcc #
## Summary ##
Apple's system compiler (LLVM C compiler, with a gcc front-end) doesn't come with a fortran compiler. However, an "Apple Framework"-compatible fortran compiler is needed in order to build the R-framework.
The current port of the llvm-gcc42 (which includes a duplicate of the system C compiler) will be built by the apple-gcc if it is available (Apple's pre-Lion fork of GCC, a dependency of some macports). Unfortunately, apple-gcc fails to build the llvm-gcc42 and we must force it to be built using the system C compiler.
## Workaround ##
sudo port clean llvm-gcc42 # if you already tried and failed to install sudo port install llvm-gcc42 configure.compiler=apple-gcc-4.2
# Python27 #
## Summary ##
I have no idea why my R-framework needed to build this, it might be a pending build.
There is currently a minor circular dependency bug in the python27 build, which means that the module "py27-xml" requires python27 to be built and python27 updates will depend on py27-xml. Python27 appears to be built universally by default and will fail to install if py27-xml is installed non-universally (the default).
## Workaround ##
before upgrading python27
port install py27-xml +universal
OR (easier for me)
disable py27-xml (and dependants) and then upgrade python27.

any idea of when we can expect to see this accepted?

Same as Portfile except port is named R-app.

R-app Portfile compatible w/ R-framework 2.14.1 (older versions can be discarded)

it has been 2 months since any updates on this new port - have there been added complications? I'm really looking forward to it!
(BTW, R-framework is a minor release out of date now)

Maintainer here: unfortunately the R-app port doesn't work with Xcode 4.3. I am in the process of trying to figure out what's wrong. Also, there is an update for the R-framework port in #33513.

OK, looks like the problem is that R.app is not clangpatible - using llvmgcc42 fixes the problem. Also, oddly setting xcode.destroot.settings to ${xcode.build.settings} doesn't work (a } gets appended to the variable) - hence the identical lines. Not sure if this is a problem with mp or Xcode.
