R help - Nov 2001 - Rcmd?

Hello,

a short question:
I cannot find the Rcmd file in the my installed Windows R Program.
It is not known as a command inside R (which is not intended as I
suppose)
nor as an executable or similar file elsewhere?

How can I make my own package?

Holger

There are various possible problems

* When installing R you need to select support for source packages

* You need Perl

* The path may be set incorrectly. In the rw1031/bin directory you should
find Rcmd.exe and files for the various Rcmd commands (eg INSTALL, REMOVE,
build, check)

You must install Rw1031 (using SetupR.exe) INCLUDING the option
for compiling source files. If not, run setupR again.You should have
Rcmd in rw1031/bin

Then, following directions in
www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/Rtools 
install:

-tools.zip
-Perl (Active Perl)
-mingw-1.1.tar.gz

Remember copying sh.exe to c:\bin\sh.exe as stated in
www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/Rtools.html

Check that the bin directory of Perl is in your path (autoexec.bat).
Add the path for mingw32\bin and the one for your R home,
if you don't have it yet (i.e., mine is E:\rw1031\bin) and
the one for the Rtools.

On a console window, a command such as

Rcmd SHLIB test.c

should work.

Hope this helps.
