R devel - Nov 2005 - Buliding a package (on Windows) does not produce libs directory

Dear expeRts!



I have produced a package and I would like to compile it on windows to build 
a binary package. The package also includes Fortran code. This is where I 
have problems.



The package compiles fine, however the Fortran code seams to be ignored. I 
have the Fortran code in src subdirectory. I have all the compilers 
installed. Actually, if I compile the Fortran subroutines manually and then 
place them in the libs subdirectory (which I have to create) in the zip 
file, the package loads nicely and the Fortran subroutines can be used.



At the bottom of the mail is the output I get when calling R CMD build (if I 
call install the result is similar).



I apologize if this has been answered previously, since I have not found it.


C:\Ales\Statistika>R CMD build --binary --docs="none" blockmodeling
* checking for file 'blockmodeling/DESCRIPTION' ... OK
* preparing 'blockmodeling':
* checking DESCRIPTION meta-information ... OK
* cleaning src

* checking for empty directories

installing R.css in C:/TEMP/Rinst.1696



Using auto-selected zip options ' blockmodeling-HELP=ziponly'



---------- Making package blockmodeling ------------
  adding build stamp to DESCRIPTION
  installing R files
  installing man source files
  installing indices
  preparing package blockmodeling for lazy loading
  adding MD5 sums



packaged installation of package 'blockmodeling' as
blockmodeling_0.1.0.zip
* DONE (blockmodeling)

There is no DLL being built. We have absolutely nothing to go on here, but 
there are dozens of examples on CRAN which do work.  A simple one 
containing Fortran is 'ash' - perhaps you should study how yours differs
from that.

And please get R CMD INSTALL working before complicating the issue with 
the (not recommended) R CMD build --binary.
