similar to: Building 'R' from source for Windows.

I have some C code (using an old Borland compiler) that calls a DLL that I'd like to get working from Windows and R (so I can read ABF files -- Axon Binary Files -- directly in R). I thought a good first approach would be able to build R in Windows, so that's what I'm trying to do. [I've done test builds of R under Linux before, and that seemed fairly simple.] I've

As the build process, especially for Windows, is changing significantly for R 3.2.0, I am trying to build R-devel in preparation. When running `make rinstaller`, I get the following error: cp -p ../../../etc/x64/Makeconf R-devel/etc/x64 mkdir -p R-devel/doc cp -p ../../../doc/CRAN_mirrors.csv R-devel/doc mkdir -p R-devel/doc/manual/images cp -pR ../../../doc/html R-devel/doc

Hi, I can't seem to install R from source. I've downloaded the latest Rtools211.exe from http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/ & done a full installation of that and Inno Setup. I have set R_HOME as C:\R (and also tried using C:\R\R-2.11.1) After successfully running 'tar xf R-2.11.1.tar.gz' the modifications I have made and saved as MkRules.local are: BUILD_HTML =

I am attempting to build a customized R installer on Windows, using the Inno Setup installer. I am following the instructions in Section 3.1.8 of the R Installation and Administration Manual ("Building the Inno Setup installer"), which includes the following passage: An alternative way to customize the installer starting with a binary distribution is to first make a full

I'd like to make MikTeX the default TeX package in 2.2.0, but we still need to let people use other packages. The problem is that MikTeX wants a command line option --include-directory $R_HOME/share/texmf, while other packages specify includes via environment variables, and barf when they see the unexpected option. The choice should be controlled by the user's settings in the MkRules

I tried for the first time to build R from source on Windows, where I got the source code via svn. Per the Installation and Administration manual, I altered src\gnuwin32\MkRules so it had the the locally correct paths to HTML Help Workshop and Inno Setup 5. I also set USE_SVNVERSION=yes, as suggested in MkRules itself. Then, while in the directory src/gnuwin32 I ran 'make all

Dear r-devel list members, It's been several years since I last built a custom Windows installer for R, and despite my notes and the instructions in Sections 3.1.7 and D.4 of the R Installation and Administration Manual, I've run into a problem, receiving the following error message: ----------- snip ----------- C:\R\src\R-2.11.1\src\gnuwin32\installer>make myR

Hello all, I'm trying to build R 32bit from source in a Windows 64 machine. I have followed the steps in "R Installation and Adiministration" ( http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html#Getting-the-source-files) or at least I think I did everything described. I am not sure if I have installed the libjpeg, libtiff and libpng files though. I have upzipped them in the

Hello, I am stuck trying to build 64-bit R 2.12.1 on Windows 7, hopefully the problem is obvious and someone can point out what I'm missing. Well into the "make all recommended" process, I get an error: make[4]: *** [Rzlib.dll] Error 4 (A longer report on the error in the build print is below - there is also help output from sed that I have included but don't know if it is

Hi, I'm trying to get C code working with R. This is my first time writing C on Windows and I'm making a mess of it. Help! I'm following the example in Roger Peng's "An Introduction to the .C interface to R". The C code is: #include <R.h> void hello(int *n){ int i; for(i=0; i < *n; i++) { Rprintf("Hello, world!\n"); } } I seem to be unable

Hello, I have been having a great deal of difficulty using R CMD SHLIB to generate the .so file from my C file. I am using Win XP, and I have cygwin installed. I updated to the latest MinGW make files in order to get rid of some error. But I still get a few warnings (shown below), and no shared file (.so file) produced at the end. C:\cygwin\home\Deepak>R CMD SHLIB ssa.h

Hi, If I want to build R-patched from source (on Windows), do I need to edit Makefile and/or MkRules at all? I have followed all instructions in the INSTALL file (under R-patched/src/gnuwin32/), as well as downloaded all the files from http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/Rtools/ . My PATH variable has been modified accordingly. Now, with the only change to MkRules I made was to modify the Tcl/Tk

Dear List, I have been experimenting with building packages from sources, having previously relied upon the binaries. I downloaded and installed all the tools suggested in http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/Rtools/ , including ActivePerl 5.6.1.631. I also downloaded the HTML Help workshop exe and installed it. During install though, a message popped up to say that I had a newer version of the

Hi all, I have been experiencing difficulties building R (be this 2.13.1, beta, devel, or rc) on Windows 7 64bit. I believe I am following the manual religiously, and don't think I am doing anything differently from the many successful build attempts in the past. Unzipping the tarball works fine, but when I invoke make, I get (shown for R-rc, same for 2-13.1):

Dear R People: I'm starting to think that I should just install from the binary, but here is my latest effort to install from source on a Windows 7 64 bit: c:\R64\R-patched>cd src cd src c:\R64\R-patched\src>cd gnuwin32/ cd gnuwin32/ c:\R64\R-patched\src\gnuwin32>set TMPDIR=c:\temp set TMPDIR=c:\temp c:\R64\R-patched\src\gnuwin32>make all recommended make all recommended

Hello: Many thanks to Professor Ripley for responding to my earlier post, included below, about trying to use mingw32 gcc.I did put back the original Rinternals.h. I am still crashing R every time I try to use C code. Here is what I did, basd on readme.packages: 1.) Ensured that C:\Rtools was first in my path, and obtained a new tools.zip from BDR's R tools site. 2.) Ensured that I

I have been using R for some time now and decided to have a go a compiling R from source. I have carefully followed the guidelines set out by Prof Ripley and others, but I get the following message when I try to make: MkRules:92: *** missing separator. Stop. If I comment the line out, I get the same message for the next line. I have searched on Google and many people have mentioned an issue
