R help - Jun 2003 - (no subject)

Hi all,

I'm new to R and am trying to create a dll in order to be able to use the
"dyn.load" function with a fortran script.  I have a windows OS, have
installed perl and the Path is recognized.  I have also installed R 1.70
including the src (source code) folder.  But when I attempt to create the dll by
excecuting "Rcmd SHLIB [-o autologdll] combo.f", in the windows
command prompt, I get the following error message "'make' is not
recognized as an internal or external command"

Does anyone have some suggestions on what I may have missed?

Thanx a ton!

Sounds like you did not download and install Prof. Ripley's Tools
package or if you did, the PATH environment variable is not set
properly. 

If you did not download the Tools package, go here:

http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/Rtools/

and download the Unix tools ZIP file in the Essentials section and read
the remainder of the page, which provides further guidance.

If you did download and extract that package, be sure to edit the PATH
to reflect the location of those files.

BTW, don't forget to update to R 1.7.1, which is now released and
available on CRAN.

HTH,

Marc Schwartz

1) Please use some meaningful Subject.

2) Have you read Prof Ripley's http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/Rtools/ 
(hint: you may want to download the tools.zip file).

"make" is a utility that's used in the build process.  You can get
copies of all the utilities you need from Brian Ripley's web page as
described in $RHOME/readme.packages.

You didn't mention that you had installed a Fortran compiler.  If you
haven't installed the recommended compiler (MinGW), you might find
that some more work will be needed to get the scripts to work.
