Well, I'm finally getting around to setting up a cross-compiler for Windows
on my local Linux box. I'm using the Yan & Rossini's
docuimentation and the latest
'http://cran.r-project.org/doc/contrib/Makefile-rcb' , which is working
of the R-2.2.0 sources.
After discovering that "cp -p" doesn't work on the filesystem
I'm using and removing the '-p's in the R makefiles using perl,
I've gotten things to run pretty far through. Unfortunately, I get stopped
by this error when building the base packages:
writing help indices for package: base tools utils grDevices graphics stats
datasets methods grid splines stats4 tcltk
---------- Making package base ------------
adding build stamp to DESCRIPTION
installing inst files
installing indices
Error in get(x, envir, mode, inherits) : variable "win.packages.html"
was not found
Execution halted
Any ideas?

I've seen that error before. It has to do with the setup of R_EXE. A current linux R is required.

Thanks, the default version of R here is 2.1.0, so that must have been the problem. Everything is working now. -Greg> -----Original Message----- > From: Jun Yan [mailto:jyan at stat.uiowa.edu] > Sent: Tuesday, December 20, 2005 1:07 PM > To: Warnes, Gregory R > Cc: R-devel (E-mail); Anthony Rossini (E-mail) > Subject: Re: Problems with Windows Cross compile > > > I've seen that error before.
