R help - Nov 2002 - About building R1.6.1 on Cygwin

Hello.

 For building REmbeddedPostgres in Omegat
project(http://www.omegahat.org/RSPostgres/) requiring PostgresSQL's libs,
I've tried to build R1.6.1 on Cygwin following the instruction of
http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/Rtools/ since full-spec PostgresSQL running on
Windows can run only on Cygwin environment,

 However I've got following error messages.

 make -C front-ends Rpwd
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/R-1.6.1/src/gnuwin32/front-ends'
make -C ../fixed version
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/R-1.6.1/src/gnuwin32/fixed'
sed -e 1d ../../../tools/GETVERSION > ../../../tools/GV

 Could you tell me any suggestion of building  R1.6.1 on Cygwin?

 Best Regards.

You are *not* following the instructions if you use the Cygwin version of
the compiler.  Those instructions are to build R for Windows (as they are
entitled), not R for Cygwin.

Building R undr Cygwin is not something you will find any instructions
for, to my knowledge.  Regard this as a new port and start with the main
sources and ./configure etc.  Expect to devote a week or more to it.

More seriously, REmbeddedPostgres uses libR.so which is part of the Unix
build of R.

There are omegahat mailing lists for omegahat components, I believe.

Then you don't have the Windows compiler ....

You need to treat it more like a Unix build than a Microsoft build
under Cygwin.  I made some progress last summer on it, basically
flagging it to be more like Linux, but it still didn't get all the way
(there are a few header files to patch, and then a show stopper bug to
figure out; this is about as much guidance as I can provide at this
point, but I recall guessing that it would take about a week to figure
out, time I didn't have).

best,
