R help - May 2006 - need help in building an R package with Fortran source

Hello all!

Can someone give me instructions how to build on PC/Win an R package 
with some embedded Fortran functions (preferable source, not dll!). The 
package should then be compilable and work on PC/Win as well as on Unix 
derivatives.

Thanks a lot

How to build source packages is described in the manual "Writing R 
Extensions".

Thanks, it looks good, as my problems were mainly due to Perl and some 
compilers!!
