Hi Avraham,
What a coincidence, I have been following this post of yours:
https://www.avrahamadler.com/2013/10/24/an-openblas-based-rblas-for-windows-64-step-by-step/
Looks like this post is slightly older than what you have shared
previously. It is strange that you did not get the attachments. I am
pasting the contents of the MkRules.local here:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
#-*- Makefile -*-
## This is only used when building R itself but it does customize
## etc/*/Makeconf using LOCAL_SOFT, BINPREF[64], IMPLIB and R_ARCH
## Customize by copying to MkRules.local and uncommenting and editing
## some of the definitions there.

## =========== configuration macros for building packages ===============#
Absolute path to '/usr/local' software collection. The versions used
# on CRAN can be found at https://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/Rtools/libs.html

# Use 'make rsync-extsoft' to populate the default directory.
# LOCAL_SOFT = D:/R64/extsoft
## ============== configuration macros for building R ==================

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I will go through your latest post and see what are the differences. I have
used the latest version of R 3.4.3 with the latest version of rtools:
Rtools34.exe.
Not sure why but i have feeling that the culprit might be a setting in the
MkRules.

Indrajit

Hi Avraham, A quick question - I realized I did not have *Perl* installed. So I installed *ActiveState Perl* right now. Also I see I need *texinfo* and *texi2any*. I was able to installed *texinfo* from here: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/texinfo.htm. But not sure where to get *texi2any*. Can you guide me in this step?

Please note that building R on Windows is documented in "R Installation and Administration", including links to external software. Particularly there is a link to texinfo which is part of Rtools. The documentation is maintained and it is a sufficient source of information for building R on Windows. https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-admin.html https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rw-FAQ.html Tomas On 02/09/2018 08:16 AM, Indrajit Sen Gupta wrote:> Hi Avraham, > > A quick question - I realized I did not have *Perl* installed.
