The R make install scripts will do the merging if there is already an R installation for a different architecture so I was wondering if there is a way to tell muniversal to use only a single destroot?

I dont' know. You could overwrite the universal PortGroup destroot phase and copy or symlink the required files/dirs from each ${worksrcpath}-${arch} into something that works with R's build process.


Looking at the muniverse PortGroup file I'm wondering why we don't copy worksrcpath for each arch in either the post-extract or post-patch?

    configure {
        # Fix inability to find nm when cross-compiling (#22224, #23431, #23687, #24477, et al)
        configure.env-append    NM=/usr/bin/nm

        foreach arch ${universal_archs_to_use} {
            ui_info "$UI_PREFIX [format [msgcat::mc "Configuring %1\$s for architecture %2\$s"] $name ${arch}]"

            copy ${worksrcpath} ${worksrcpath}-${arch}
