R devel - Sep 2007 - r cmd build

On Windows Vista hhc.exe is not available.  One can do this on an
install:

rcmd install --docs=normal myPackage

to avoid the message about hhc.exe; however,
"rcmd build" does not appear to support --docs=normal so one cannot
do a build without getting a message about hhc.exe (although the build
still proceeds).

Are you talking about "build --binary"?  I recommend using
"install
--build" instead.  AFAIK a non-binary build doesn't make any use of
hhc.

Another way to do an install or build without getting that message is to 
indicate in src/gnuwin32/MkRules that you don't want to build CHM help.
