[Rd] Building rinstaller using R-devel (3.2.0-to-be) halts when trying to copy html files
As the build process, especially for Windows, is changing
significantly for R 3.2.0, I am trying to build R-devel in
preparation. When running `make rinstaller`, I get the following
error:
cp -p ../../../etc/x64/Makeconf R-devel/etc/x64
mkdir -p R-devel/doc
cp -p ../../../doc/CRAN_mirrors.csv R-devel/doc
mkdir -p R-devel/doc/manual/images
cp -pR ../../../doc/html R-devel/doc
cp -p ../../../doc/manual/*.html ../../../doc/manual/*.pdf \
R-devel/doc/manual
cp: cannot stat '../../../doc/manual/*.html': No such file or
directory
make[1]: *** [imagedir] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/cygdrive/f/R/R-devel/src/gnuwin32/installer'
make: *** [rinstaller] Error 2
Looking at the directories, I have "\doc\manual" and
"F:\R\R-devel\doc\html" and there are no .html files in the \manual
directory, only pdfs.
I am building on Windows 7 64 bit, so the MkRules.local is being used,
and the pertinent settings therein include:
BUILD_HTML = YES
MIKTEX = TRUE
TEXI2ANY = missing
Is it as simple as changing line 74 in the Makefile under
src/gnuwin32/installer from:
$(CP) -p $(R_HOME)/doc/manual/*.html $(R_HOME)/doc/manual/*.pdf \
to
$(CP) -p $(R_HOME)/doc/html/*.html $(R_HOME)/doc/manual/*.pdf \
Or is the problem that MIKTEX alone can no longer be used and texinfo
/must/ be installed (as is implied in
<http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-devel/R-admin.html#Building-the-manuals>?
Thank you,
Avi

R will still build well enough to run, but the help system is incomplete, and will require an Internet connection to access the manuals. Were you interested in distributing the version without the manuals, or is it just that you haven't updated your Rtools to include texi2any?

I had updated Rtools with everything (Perl, ICU, etc.) but was afraid texinfo would interfere with MikTex; my mistake. Fixing that worked, thank you very much. In general, even though I don't distribute binaries to others, I prefer to run through the build all the way to risntaller and then run check-all to make sure everything is working properly. Also, it allows me to use the installer to install a production version of R to one subdirectory and keep mu Two points if I may: 1) The MkRules has the flag TEX2ANY and the texinfo zip has a flag MAKEINFO which seems to require the same statement. I put both in the MkRules.local, but which one should be used? 2) For windows users "/path/to/perl" may be a bit misleading. Most of the other entries require the subdirectory name. This one seems to require the full name of the executable (e.g. "F:/Strawberry/perl/bin/perl.exe"). Once again, thank you, Avi
