Here it is:
D:\dirk\bands\implementation>set TMPDIR=d:\tmp
D:\dirk\bands\implementation>echo %TMPDIR%
d:\tmp
D:\dirk\bands\implementation>r CMD BUILD --help
Usage: R CMD BUILD [options] pkgdirs
Build R packages from package sources in the directories specified by
pkgdirs.
Options:
-h, --help print short help message and exit
-v, --version print version info and exit
--force force overwriting of INDEX file
--no-vignettes do not rebuild package vignettes
--binary build pre-compiled binary packages, with options:
--docs=TYPE type(s) of documentation to build and install
--auto-zip select zipping of data and help based on size
--use-zip-data collect data files in zip archive
--use-zip-help collect help and examples into zip archives
--use-zip combine '--use-zip-data' and
'--use-zip-help'
Email bug reports to <r-bugs@r-project.org>.
So that works. I then right-clicked on "My Computer", then clicked on
"Properties", "Advanced", "Environment Variables"
and then set new
variable called "TMPDIR".
Having done that, "r CMD build" works in Cygwin too.
I wonder why I never saw this before with the previous machine? Well it
looks like this one is fixed.
