similar to: R-exts.texi in SVN version 36380

I just installed R-1.7.0 on Darwin 6.6 (a.k.a. MacOS 10.2.6). 'make' and 'make check' run without any problems. 'make info' builds with no complaints, but 'make dvi' and 'make pdf' fail. I get refman.dvi and refman.pdf OK (with some warnings from pdftex that some names are referenced that do not exist), but R-FAQ.{dvi,pdf} fails as shown below. Attempts

We have received an email in Ubuntu alerting us that something strange was going on during the r-base 2.7.1 rc build (see [1]). It seems that there is an error during the convertion of R-FAQ.texi to pdf. The following excerpt, taken from [2], shows the problem: /bin/sh: line 0: test: too many arguments TEXINPUTS=".:$TEXINPUTS" /usr/bin/texi2dvi --texinfo="@set UseExternalXrefs

Hello. I am in a habit of compiling daily snapshots of R-devel and R-patched on my Windows XP workstation. I have cygwin environment with up-to-date RTools and MiKTeX. I run cygwin and MiKTeX upadaters pretty often (every couple of days) so both of them are reasonably current. Recently I noticed a small annoyance when compiling R-dvel. It started happening right after I updated to the new

According to the MikTex bug reports [1], MikTex 2.9 has removed texi2dvi.exe last week (on 2015-09-29) as "it was not compatible (anymore) with the original shell script texi2dvi (GNU Texinfo)." I found this out the hard way as I just (unknowingly) updated MikTex this evening, and then, while building R-devel_2015-10-08 on Windows7 64bit using the Rtools 3.3 toolchain (4.9.3 branch), had

I built R form source succesfully on my Fedora 22 box. No errors. I can read there is an issue with some manuals at build time when running makeinfo, especially these two: doc/manual/R-exts.texi cp doc/manual/R-intro.texi Some distro have hacks about makeinfo 5 in their build script. I wonder if some manuals are broken but couldn't see it when running make. May someone tells me more about

I recently wrote a vignette, with the following at the top of the .Rnw file: %%\VignetteIndexEntry{How to use look up tables for h() functions} %%\VignetteDepends{sjedmin, spatstat} Using vExplorer() on this function, I got an error from this part of getVigInfo(): lines <- grep("^%[[:space:]]*\\\\Vignette", file) if (length(lines) == 0) stop("File ", vig,

Line 1204 (right now) of svn/r-devel/doc/manual/R-exts.texi has dest <- file.path(R_PACKAGE_DIR, paste0('bin', R_ARCH) which lacks a closing ) -- two open, only one close right now. Dirk [1] I would have reported a bug, but I am aware of a recent and not-so-friendly response when bugzilla was used to report a typo. -- http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com | @eddelbuettel | edd at

I'm having trouble making the manuals as per the INSTALL instructions. Anyone have any hints as to what's wrong? <123>-> make dvi DVI/LaTeX documentation: reference index ... *** Error code 255 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `refman.dvi'

Dear all, I would like to suggest the following changes to the R documentation: 1) R-exts.texi: Having had my first experience with uploading a package to ftp://cran.R-project.org/incoming/, I think it would be nice if the documentation pointed out that one should use ftp and not sftp (at least on my machine sftp failed to make a connection) and that one should log in as user

I want to create a clean .rpm package for R built with MKL and ICC. I follow Fedora instrcutions[0] to create the package. As a base, I use the R-3.2.2.src.rpm. I am left with this error: ------------------------------------------ installing R info pages ... updating '/usr/share/info/dir' ... make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/poisonivy/rpmbuild/BUILD/R-3.2.2/doc/manual' + mv

Hi everyone, Being new to the crowd of R users I am wondering what the equivalent of attach("/home/bla/hoffmann/R/.RData",2) (S style) is in R. What I want is a split of .RData repositories. One in a central place where I keep functions and interesting stuff important for all work I am doing, an several others which contain stuff of an dividual project only. When I start in a

Now I believe that I am getting the same error as I was getting last time I tried to build llvm-gcc. It may possibly be my Cygwin instillation but am not sure. makeinfo --split-size=5000000 -I ../../../src/llvm-gcc/gcc/doc -I ../../../src/ llvm-gcc/gcc/doc/include \ -o ../../../src/llvm-gcc/gcc/doc/cpp.info ../../../src/llvm-gcc/gcc/doc/cpp.texi ' in

>Hi Aaron, >have you got any help on this? Henrik, No. This is where I was stuck some months ago. I do not know makeinfo so was not able to proceed any thurther than verifying the makeinfo statement did the same thing when done on the command line. Basically I am stuck. I do not know whether it was my Cygwin configuration or something I have done or not done or whether it is a valid

Hello dear dev team, In the recent devel R-exts manual I cannot find any information about new option `--ignore-vignettes` to `R CMD check`. I would expect it to be mentioned somewhere in "1.4.2 Non-Sweave vignettes". Checked on https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-devel/R-exts.html and https://github.com/wch/r-source/blob/trunk/doc/manual/R-exts.texi Regards, Jan Gorecki

would it be possible / make sense to copy some of the information in ?news into the R-exts manual, where package writers are most likely (?) to look for it? The information therein seems more appropriate for the extensions manual ... cheers Ben Bolker
