Dear R-help, I have encountered some errors when trying to compile R-1.3.1 from source on my WinNT4SP6 laptop (PII w/128MB RAM). I have installed all the tools following the instruction in src/gnuwin32/INSTALL, with the exception that the mingw compiler I have might be a bit older (they are the ones recommended for R-1.3.0, I believe). I have also compiled the ATLAS libraries from source using the cygwin compilers. The first time through, I managed to compile R as well as all the base packages. However, when I started R and tried to get help (and help.search, too), I got an error message about unzip. I looked in the help subdirectories, and they do not contain the zip files that are suppose to be there. Not knowing what to do, I re-started from scrach (meaning I did a "make distclean" from src/gnuwin32 and "make BUILD=mingw32" again). This time I did notice some error messages when compiling help files. Not only that, it also failed to compile loess in the modreg package. The abbreviated errors are as follows: {Typical error #1: get it for all packages.} make -C ./help RHOME=C:/Rtools/R-1.3.1 PKGDIR=C:/Rtools/R-1.3.1/src/library RLIB=C:/Rtools/R-1.3.1/library ziponlyhelp-base make[2]: Entering directory `/cygdrive/c/Rtools/R-1.3.1/src/gnuwin32/help' zip -jqmX help/Rhelp help/* -x help/AnIndex 2> nul make[3]: [zipup] Error 12 (ignored) zip -jqmX R-ex/Rex R-ex/*.R 2> nul make[3]: [zipup] Error 12 (ignored) zip -jqmX latex/Rhelp latex/*.tex 2> nul make[3]: [zipup] Error 12 (ignored) ************************************************************************* {Typical error #2: also get it for all packages.} make --no-print-directory -C C:/Rtools/R-1.3.1/src/library/base/chm -f C:/Rtools/R-1.3.1/src/gnuwin32/help/Makefile base.chm hhc base.hhp Microsoft HTML Help Compiler 4.74.8702 Compiling c:\Rtools\R-1.3.1\src\library\base\chm\base.chm Compile time: 0 minutes, 29 seconds 626 Topics 3,454 Local links 23 Internet links 1 Graphic Created c:\Rtools\R-1.3.1\src\library\base\chm\base.chm, 887,735 bytes Compression decreased file by 1,537,524 bytes. make[3]: [base.chm] Error 1 (ignored) mkdir -p C:/Rtools/R-1.3.1/library/base/chtml cp C:/Rtools/R-1.3.1/src/library/base/chm/base.chm C:/Rtools/R-1.3.1/library/base/chtml ************************************************************************** gcc --shared -s -o modreg.dll modreg.def modreg.a modreg_res.o -LC:/Rtools/R-1.3.1/src/gnuwin32 -L/Rtools/ATLAS/lib/WinNT_PII -lcblas -lf77blas -latlas -lR modreg.a(loessf.o)(.text+0x172e):loessf.f: undefined reference to `pow_dd' modreg.a(loessf.o)(.text+0x1749):loessf.f: undefined reference to `pow_dd' modreg.a(loessf.o)(.text+0x1810):loessf.f: undefined reference to `pow_dd' modreg.a(loessf.o)(.text+0x1825):loessf.f: undefined reference to `pow_dd' modreg.a(ppr.o)(.text+0x2d27):ppr.f: undefined reference to `pow_dd' modreg.a(sslvrg.o)(.text+0x8c):sslvrg.f: more undefined references to `pow_dd' follow Can anyone help?
