similar to: tar problem when using 'R CMD build' on Windows

Hi, The cleanup_pkg() function defined the big tools:::.build_packages() function in tools/R/build.R is currently broken. When Makefiles are used cleanup_pkg() doesn't clean anything because of the way system2() is called. For example, the call to Ssystem() on line 304 (Ssystem is a silent version of system2) is basically trying to do this: >

I've upgraded laptops and have put a new version of R on the new machine as well as the tools for building packages. I know R has required a "non-broken" version of tar for some time now and was hoping to not have to install any cygwin tools. Since building packages requires the use of MinGW and MSYS, why can't we simply use the tar that's part of msys? After looking at

Dear all, I'm trying to create my own package by following for instance http://epub.ub.uni-muenchen.de/6175/2/tr036.pdf In step 6 (page 19) it says that the command 'R CMD build <mypackage>' should result in a tar.gz file. However, after running the command I end up with a tar file only (no gz extension). I also get the following warnings in the command prompt C:\Program

My setup: Windows XP, R-2.6.0, Cygwin (not the Rtools version) When I tried to build a package, I was given this message: tar: c\:/X/Rpkgs/Drydown_1.41.tar: Cannot open: Input/Output error Even manually typing the following caused the same error: tar chf 'c:/X/Rpkgs/Drydown_1.41.tar' Drydown I looked at the 2.5.1 and 2.6.0 build scripts.

Hello! I have just read mails in thread <http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/devel/04a/0583.html> about problems with Cygwin and Rtools. I had the same problems and kept just the newest cygwin1.dll and things seem OK now. However I currently hit the problem with Perl (I have ActiveState and Cygwin Perl installed). When I tried to work with 'Rdconv' in Cygwin I get the following: $

Dear R-help, I have encountered some errors when trying to compile R-1.3.1 from source on my WinNT4SP6 laptop (PII w/128MB RAM). I have installed all the tools following the instruction in src/gnuwin32/INSTALL, with the exception that the mingw compiler I have might be a bit older (they are the ones recommended for R-1.3.0, I believe). I have also compiled the ATLAS libraries from source using

However, when I tried to build a source package, I found the following results: * removing junk files * building 'Rconifers_0.7-1.tar.gz' tar:
