R devel - May 2016 - R-3.3.0 Base: Windows compilation fails while building 'base' package

Hi,

I'm trying to builda  R-3.3.0 base package on Windows 8.1, and it fails
while building 'base' package with an error about unable to create a
directory
under /tmp.

I am running the make from my D:\ partition, and I have created a \TMP
directory
under both C:\ and D:\.  I have also modified my environment variables TEMP
and TMP both point to C:\TMP.

Error messages below:

gfortran -m64 -O3 -mtune=core2  -c cmplx.f -o cmplx.o
gcc -std=gnu99 -m64 -I../../include -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -O3 -Wall -pedantic

I'm not sure what else I need to do. Please help.

Thanks & Best Regards,

I think you actually need to set the 'TMPDIR' variable.

Thanks Jeroen. Yes, that's right. It works. Appreciate your help.

The next blockage is during linking the TCL and TK libraries
which fail with the following errors :

gcc -m64 -shared -s -static-libgcc -o tcltk.dll tmp.def init.o tcltk.o
tcltk_win
.o ../../../gnuwin32/dllversion.o -L../../../../Tcl/bin64 -ltcl85 -ltk85
-LD:/R6
4/R-3.3.0/extsoft/lib/x64 -LD:/R64/R-3.3.0/extsoft/lib
-L../../../../bin/x64 -lR

ingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -ltcl85 <----------------
d:/rtools/gcc-4.6.3/bin/../lib/gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/4.6.3/../../../../i686-w64-m
ingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -ltk85 <-------------------
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
cp: cannot stat 'tcltk.dll': No such file or directory
make[4]: *** [shlib] Error 1
make[3]: *** [mksrc-win2] Error 1
make[2]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: *** [R] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

I have my TCL/TK files under D:\TCL and the tcl85.dll and tk85.dll are
present
under D:\TCL\BIN64 directory.  I have D:\TCL\BIN64 in both user and system
paths.

I did try configuring LD_LIBRARY_PATH (Yes, I know it's only for unix but
just in case)
to D:\TCL\BIN64 and that didn't work either.

What else do I need to do ?

(Also, note that I got multiple errors in .h files not being able to be
included
(for example, lzma.h), for which I manually edited the header files and
pointed
the absolute directory/filename wherever required.)

Not sure if these are all documented somewhere as tips, so that folks can
go through
in case of issues. Going through archives is tedious.

Thx,
Venkat.
