I've been trying to build a Windows binary of a package of mine without success. It seems that the files under inst/doc throw the script off. I am using the command 'Rcmd INSTALL --build'. ---------- Making package genepi ------------ adding build stamp to DESCRIPTION installing NAMESPACE file and metadata installing R files installing inst files FIND: Parameter format not correct make[2]: *** [C:/Library/R/genepi/inst] Error 2 make[1]: *** [all] Error 2 make: *** [pkg-genepi] Error 2 *** Installation of genepi failed *** I also tried a couple of packages downloaded from CRAN. Those without inst/doc directory worked fine and those who do have it didn't. I'm using a fresh install of R-2.7.0 and Rtools-2.7. Any clue of what was wrong with my setup? Thanks, Michael
