R devel - Sep 2004 - Rcmd problems and questions, lazyloading

Hola!

I got past the problems I asked about two days ago, thanks. No I am 
updating
CRAN package asypow (the daily package check on CRAN gave warnings due to
.Rd problems, fixed).

Now it PASSED Rcmd check
(WindowsXP home edition, rw2000dev, on a new toshiba laptop, if that 
matters.)

but then Rcmd build --binary
gives problems:
.
.
.
  preparing package asypow for lazy loading
Error in tools:::.read_description(file) :
    file '/DESCRIPTION' does not exist
Execution halted
make: *** [lazyload] Error 1
*** Installation of asypow failed ***

Removing 'C:/DOCUME~1/HALVOR~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/Rbuild.852/asypow'
 ERROR
* installation failed
.
.
.
but as it passed make check, DESCRIPTION obviuosly is there, so this 
must be symptoms of something else.

Then, adding the line
LazyLoad:             FALSE

to DESCRIPTION,
Rcmd build --binary
runs without problems!

What is happening?

Kjetil,
works for me with the asypow 1.0, R-2.0.0 alpha (2004-09-16).

Which version of R (I mean the date, a lot of stuff changed during the 
last 2 weeks re. lazy loading and related bug fixes on Windows)?

If it still does not work with a recent alpha version, please send me 
the source package.


What happens if you try
    R CMD INSTALL --build

This way some references get resolves more correctly, and this way is 
probably better tested by the developers and the CRAN Windows package 
maintainer.
