R help - Jan 2006 - Creating an R package file

Dear R community,

I would like to create my own R package files, but I find some problemm for R
versions >1.9.

When in previous versions of R I could write a simple text file, to have a
functioning file package, now I found that is neccessary to implement also
binary copies of the file. I cannot understand, reading from R manuals, how it
is the correct procedure to create these binary files.

Is there anybody that can help me on this issue?

Many thanks,

Marco Tommasi

Well, you simply type

    R CMD INSTALL --build mypackage

or

    R CMD build --binary mypackage

in the parent directory of the source package.  If you're on Windows, you
need to have some tools installed to be able to do that (but you haven't
said what OS you're using).

The manual "Writing R Extensions" explains how to write a source
package.
The manual "R Installation and Administration" explains how to collect
the required tools (your mail header tells us you are on Windows) to perform
   R CMD INSTALL, R CMD check and R CMD build
