Hola!
I'm trying to make r-devel on windows XP. I downloaded an hour ago
R-1.7.0beta_2003-03-30.tar.gz
make terminates without any error messages, with
make check I get error messages from tests of internet and
socket functions, surely because my modem was not
connected (It doesn't say in the documentation (file INSTALL)
that internet must be connected under make check.)
But the file base-Ex.Rout has as last line
quit('no'), which I take to mean the rest of the checks went
well?
make in directory \bitmap went without error messages,
(but I had to say just make and not make bitmapdll as INSTALL says.)
Then, after installing the files from R_Tcl.zip using unzip from the
tools collection:
C:\R\R17beta\R-1.7.0\src\gnuwin32>make tcl
make tcl

with some similar errors later, but the pdf docs seem to
build correctly
Because of the problems (most serious Tcl) I did'nt try
to build the installers.
One other "problem": INSTALL says that, among othres,
hhc.exe needs to be in the path. I don't have it in the path, and
more, does'nt know what it is or what it is supposed to do.
Can this be cause of some of the problems above?

Kjetil, You are sending a long report about your inexperience: most of this is no different from the last few R versions. We *do* actually check that R-devel builds on Windows during feature freeze, so please start with the assumption that problems are with your installation or mis-reading of the instructions.

And make check does finish, I bet.> But the file base-Ex.Rout has as last line > quit('no'), which I take to mean the rest of the checks went > well?No, it means base checked correctly: it is the first check, not the last one.> make in directory \bitmap went without error messages, > (but I had to say just make and not make bitmapdll as INSTALL says.)INSTALL says to do make bitmapdll in src/gnuwin32, not in bitmap, and bitmap/INSTALL says to do make. As in: If everything is set up in directory bitmap, make bitmapdll will work from this directory. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Both pieces of documentation are correct, but your assertions are not.> Then, after installing the files from R_Tcl.zip using unzip from the > tools collection: > > C:\R\R17beta\R-1.7.0\src\gnuwin32>make tcl > make tcl > > ---------- Making package tcltk ------------ > adding build stamp to DESCRIPTION > making DLL ... > gcc -IC:/R/R17beta/R-1.7.0/src/include -Wall -O2 -I "C:/R/R17beta/R- > 1.7.0/Tcl"/include -DWin32 -c tcltk.c -o tcltk.o > In file included from tcltk.c:3: > C:/R/R17beta/R-1.7.0/Tcl/include/tcl.h:2275:26: tclPlatDecls.h: No > such file or directory > In file included from C:/R/R17beta/R-1.7.0/Tcl/include/tk.h:96, > from tcltk.c:4: > C:/R/R17beta/R-1.7.0/Tcl/include/X11/Xlib.h:48:28: X11/Xfuncproto.h: > No such file or directory > C:/R/R17beta/R-1.7.0/Tcl/include/X11/Xlib.h:1205:28: > tkIntXlibDecls.h: No such file or directory > In file included from C:/R/R17beta/R-1.7.0/Tcl/include/tk.h:96, > from tcltk.c:4: > C:/R/R17beta/R-1.7.0/Tcl/include/X11/Xlib.h:1207: parse error before > "_XFUNCPROTOEND" > In file included from tcltk.c:4: > C:/R/R17beta/R-1.7.0/Tcl/include/tk.h:120: syntax error before > "typedef" > make[3]: *** [tcltk.o] Error 1 > make[2]: *** [src/tcltk.dll] Error 2 > make[1]: *** [pkg-tcltk] Error 2 > make: *** [tcl] Error 2 > > ???The files mentioned as not found *are* in Tcl/include in that zip file.

You can't build CHM help without it, so I suspect it must be in your path. -- Brian D.

Interesting: The httpget() part hangs on my machine.

You cannot build *.chm help files without it. Uwe Ligges
