similar to: R 2.10 under Windows XP: glitches and successes

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 all, I just tried to be fast for once, installed R 2.10 and also newly installed all previously-installed packages. However, now all my help files are text only, which is of course a pity with the new possibilities of links between help pages. What can I do to re-activate chm-help? chm-help does not work for anything, not even base functionality. My system is Windows XP, German locale

[Env: Win Xp] Is there any options() setting or call to help() or help.start() that will allow me to view a help file for a package built under R 2.10.x under R 2.9.2? I'm using both R 2.9.2 and R 2.10.1, but prefer the former because the CHM help is so much easier to use. Yet, if I install a package built for R 2.10.x, I can't find *any* way to display a help file in this package.

First: Contrary to claims chm viewing is NOT fixed.It's better but graphics and the index are still broken. I washed my hands on bug reporting of the problems, as I now use firefox with the chm addon which works even better than the last kchmviewer I tried. Great News: I installed the latest PBWin9.0 and the first example I tried worked flawlessly. This surprised me as this was a COM example

Hi, I am trying to build a package from source for the first time. I'm using Windows XP. After R CMD INSTALL or R CMD check I get an error message that I don't understand. I've tried to follow the instrucions provided in the R Installation and Administration .pdf and the text file that comes with Rtools, but most of this is new to me and clearly I'm missing something. Here's

Dear R-helpers, I'm having trouble compiling R packages from source on Win2K. I installed R 1.7.1beta [1] on my win2k machine [2], downloaded the fields package as source [3] and tried but failed to install the package [4]. I get the same problem with other packages, so it doesn't appear to be limited to fields. Installation of precompiled packages seems to work fine. I've been

Hello! I was just wondering, why only one of my "Rd" files is converted in "chm" format (REGE) and the other are not when installing a package? The output from installing a package on WinXp is below.

Hello! I am building a package, which includes also one Fortran subroutine, which works fine if I compile it as a shared library and load it into R via dyn.load(). However, when I launch R CMD check it doesn't stop with checking examples. It's just doing and doing ... I pasted the whole output from R CMD check. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm still using R 2.0.1.

Hi, Chm (compiled help) is a microsoft invention. It's the default help system under windows, but not so under linux. I found that (at times) I like better how chm help looks. Since there are chm viewers under linux, using chm help files should be possible. Has anybody tried to set R so it opens chm by default? I'm sure there's some flag or Rprofile var that could get this done.

I first installed kchmviewer. I then created the file run_prog: #!/bin/sh $1 "`wine winepath -u "$2"`" I tested by running from a terminal run_prog kchmviewer c:\MyChmFile.chm This worked fine I edited the registry entry for chm.file to /usr/bin/run_prog kchmviewer %1 > > Note: > While researching regedit I noticed the reference to wineprefixcreate at: >

Dear all, For certain reasons I have to compile the source code of my package on Windows XP using Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0, thus I had to create a "Makefile.win".
