I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) and R 2.7.1.
I've built a package from source (a modified version of gbm) and it
contains some C++ code. I now want to cross-compile it to get a
Windows version.
I installed R using
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install r-base
sudo apt-get install r-base-dev
So far as I can tell, I've also followed all the instructions in the
guide to cross-compiling by Yan and Rossini.
When I try to cross-compile I get a load of errors, apparently due to
R.h (and possibly other things) not being found:

[etc. - snip]
I'd be grateful if anyone can suggest what I might be doing wrong.
Many thanks,
Harry
Is there any particular reason why you are doing this, instead of just using http://win-builder.r-project.org/ After that server went online, I see little (no) need for cross- compilation, I must say.

I'm new to building packages that have source code and I didn't know about that site. In any event, it is an experimental private build for testing, and it is more convenient for me to do most of the testing in a Windows environment. I've spent a lot of time failing to build from source on Windows, and would prefer not to name myself as maintainer of someone else's package. But, since it looks like that might be the easiest route, I've just let the maintainer know what I'm up to and asked if he's fine with me doing that.

[ You can also get R 2.8.1 for free, see the R FAQ and search Ubuntu, or go

So you are working with R 2.7,1 and R 2.6.0. May not be for the faint of
heart as some interfaces do change...

You may not get far til you get that sorted out -- you do need R.h from the
right place.
But as others have said, Rtools29.exe is fairly straightforward to use, esp
if you know how to use the R / gcc toolchain on Linux. And the win-builder is
also a very fine service.
Good luck, Dirk
