R help - May 2003 - Dopt for Windows

Hi,

I would like to have some advise about how to install Dopt on R for Windows.
I can not manage to properly compile Dopt.f anf to get a suitable dll for R.
Can someone explain me step by step what should I do ?

Thanks in advance

Do you mean the Dopt version from CRAN/src/contrib/Devel/ ?

It works with
  Rcmd INSTALL Dopt_0.1-4.tar.gz
for me (at least comiling and installation). Just follow the Writing R 
Extensions manual and the file readme.packages in .../src/gnuwin32 of 
your R installation.

If you don't get it to work, I might set up a binary, but without 
guarantee that it works (there is for sure a reason why it's in the 
Devel directory; and read the Motes, Readme, STATEMENT and Porting.txt 
files from that package, please).
