‘USE_FC_LEN_T’ is the default: this uses the correct prototypes for Fortran BLAS/LAPACK routines called from C/C++, and requires adjustment of most such calls - see ‘Writing R Extensions’ §6.6.1.

Setting environment variable ‘_R_INSTALL_USE_FC_LEN_T_’ to a true value enables this _pro tem_. This is set by ‘R CMD check --as-cran’ when it installs a package.]
Setting environment variable ‘_R_CHECK_RD_VALIDATE_RD2HTML_’ to a false value will override ‘R CMD check --as-cran’ and turn off HTML validation. This provides a way to circumvent a problematic ‘tidy’ such as the 2006 version that ships with macOS.
