R help - Apr 2005 - cross compiling R for Windows under Linux

Hi

I tried to cross compile R under Linux but get an
error.

i586-mingw32-gcc -isystem
/home/schouwl/unpack/mingw/include -O2 -Wall -pedantic
-I../include -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DR_DLL_BUILD  -c
dynload.c -o dynload.o
dynload.c: In function `R_loadLibrary':
dynload.c:94: warning: implicit declaration of
function `_controlfp'
dynload.c:94: error: `_MCW_IC' undeclared (first use
in this function)
dynload.c:94: error: (Each undeclared identifier is
reported only once
dynload.c:94: error: for each function it appears in.)
dynload.c:95: warning: implicit declaration of
function `_clearfp'
dynload.c:99: error: `_MCW_EM' undeclared (first use
in this function)
dynload.c:99: error: `_MCW_RC' undeclared (first use
in this function)
dynload.c:99: error: `_MCW_PC' undeclared (first use
in this function)
make[3]: *** [dynload.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** [../../bin/R.dll] Error 2
make[1]: *** [rbuild] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2


This is the that was reported in the mailing list
before. 
http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/devel/04/12/1571.html

I have set the HEADER correct in MkRules
HEADER=/home/schouwl/unpack/mingw/include
The file float.h is located in the 
../i586-mingw32/include/float.h 
from there.

I am cross compiling R 2.0.1 source code.

Help would be appreciated..

Lars Schouw

I tried the versions 
latest beta of R 2.1 as well
R-latest.tar.gz            13-Apr-2005 17:27  11.6M 

and  tried out the two different mingw packages for
cross compilation
http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/Rtools/

I still get the same error.

Regards
Lars

*If* you really have the header paths set correctly it does work, and has 
been tested by several people.

Do read MkRules more carefully and think about how your setting differs 
from the example given.  You have *not* as you claim

# Set this to where the mingw32 include files are. It must be accurate.
HEADER=/users/ripley/R/cross-tools4/i586-mingw32/include

if you used my cross-compiler build (and gave no credit).  Hint: float.h 
is a `mingw32 include file'.

As the comment says, user error here is disastrous, so please take the 
hint.

No, you did not.

Professor Ripley

I am very hourned to use R after all your hard work.

It looks as if I can't see the paths
/users/ripley/mingw even though I have set the HEADER
correct.

POINT:
I tried to include the missing header file float.h
from dynload.c directly. It can't see the file!!!

Is looks as if I have to run confgure myself again to
set the --prefix correct.

Whan I added --verbose to the make flags I get this:

I then tried to have the sysadm create a soft link

It did also not help.

After trying all day here in Tokyo.
I foudn a word around for the problem copying the
header files from 
mingw/i586-mingw32/include 
to 
mingw/include

so at least I can compile that part...

Strugelling with tcl right now..
But it looks better now ;)

I it up and running!!

Thank you Dr. Ripley.. and others who also got these
mails.

Now my goal is to crosscompile rpvm..
