R devel - Oct 2011 - Question about how to compile .zip for Windows

Dear all,

Thanks for Baptiste's help. He offered me the website

http://win-builder.r-project.org/ This is very good.

However, I face another problem recently that I need to program a package,
which require 'multiple-precision floating-point computations'. I found
that
MPFR is very good tools. It can be installed on the linux system, if you
want to use it just include some head files.

So my problem is my computer can only compile the linux version package not
the windows .zip version. And also If I want to use the website above, it
doesn't install the MPFR. I want to try to compile it directly on my
computer. I stuck here.

Thanks

Yi Zhao

See the examples in package Rmpfr. You can make use of the same setting 
on winbuilder.
