[R] Building a package under WIN2000 / rw2.0
I have an odd problem in building a package with only R-code in it.
I have a package mainly used by myself which I last build under R
1.9.0.
The operation system is Win2000 5.00.2195, Service Pack 3
When I do:
c:\stat\r\rw2000\bin\Rcmd install --docs=normal --build
--library=c:\stat\R\bxc\library c:\stat\R\bxc\library.sources\xx
then after updating help pages I get:
preparing package xx for lazy loading
Error in tools:::.read_description(file) :
file '/DESCRIPTION' does not exist
Execution halted
make: *** [lazyload] Error 1
*** Installation of xx failed ***
(Yes, I have a DESCRIPTION file).
Having made a few changes here and there in some of the functions I
transferred
them one at a time to a new folder and tried to build it there.
The probelm seems to be that once I exceed 5 functions in the package
the above
error appears, with 5 or fewer functions it works OK.
Any ideas?

I'll try to debug.
