similar to: Building R on Windows: mkdir of Rtools creates directories with read-only permissions [WEIRD]

This is is an issue that bugged me for a while. I encountered a year ago (April 2012) when I first tried to build R from source on Windows. I never figured out what the solution is or if I'm doing something wrong myself (but I have found a tedious workaround). I'm still on the same Windows 7 Ultimate machine with NTFS, but I now made sure I started from scratch so I have a completely

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

Hi all -- I am working on 64-bit Windows XP. I'm not a very technical person when it comes to the command line stuff, so please forgive me if this is a stupid question. I have a bunch of HDF files, and I want to dump a single PM25 data layer from each file to .txt by invoking ncdump.exe from system(). Here's a sample command string: "C:/ncdump -v PM25 C:/01aug2010.hdf >

Hi, I tried to compile R-2.10.0 src on 64 bit window. After install Rtools and wingw-w64 compiler and put it the first of my PATH variable, but i got the following error when i tried to compile. Anything I missed? thank you. x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc -std=gnu99 -I../include -I. -I../extra -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -D R_DLL_BUILD -O3 -Wall -pedantic -DR_ARCH='"x64"' -c malloc.c -o

Hello. I am trying to build R on Windows. It appears that my build passes the various "make checks" (unless I missed some error) and running Rterm seems to work fine whereas Rgui has an immediate error stating " AppName: rgui.exe AppVer: 2.150.58871.0 ModName: rzlib.dll ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 0000a9e5 The taskbar still works, but the console window has nothing in it, and

Executive summary: I believe revision 86265 makes it more difficult to build R with OpenBLAS on Windows as now the entire LAPACK needs to be built to obtain zspmv. Is there anything that can be done to allow the former behavior to be used, something in Mkrules.local perhaps? Detailed Explanation: I have been building R with OpenBLAS for Windows 64 for over a decade by patching

The problem is that R crashes with an exception "R for Windows GUI front-end has encountered a problem and needs to close..." It doesn't always crash, but almost always does. Thanks for any help (fixes, workarounds, or diagnostics) you can provide!

This is the first time I've ever compiled from sources so bear with me.

Dear all, when making a DLL via Rcmd SHLIB is there a way to link against a library such as Rblas (I am on a Windows platform) on a case to case basis? I played a bit around with some self-written C-code which should call the function 'dasum' defined in Blas.h. I encountered the following problem: u:\codeplay>Rcmd SHLIB mysumming.c Rcmd SHLIB mysumming.c gcc --shared -s -o

Hello everyone, I'm trying to build R 2.14.0 from source on Win7 x64 using the instructions from "R Installation and Administration" (version 2.13.2), but when I try to make the core files (as of step 3.1.3 of the instructions), it fails with the following error: ... x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc -std=gnu99 -m64 -I. -I../../gnuwin32 -I../../include -DGA_DLL_BUILD -DENABLE_NLS=1 ?-O3 -Wall

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

Ok, moved to R-devel. I tried to build R-2.3.1. Since I intent to distribute this tuned R to all other who have a computer like mine here at work I thought it was best to stay with the latest stable release. About your suggestion, I could'n find xerblas.o file. And I don't know how to edit libf77blas.a. I tried to open it with VIM (http://vim.sf.net/) but there was a lot of strange

I'm currently attempting to build R-2.10.1 from the source on Windows 7 (64-bit version). I've downloaded the latest Rtools (Rtools211.exe) from the Murdoch-Sutherland site and have done a full install. I've also downloaded the HTML Help Workshop, MikTeX, and the InnoSetup installer. I am not using any 64-bit versions of the tools, such as the MinGW-w64, or a 64-bit version of TCL

I noticed a problem using R 2.7.1 on Windows XP SP2 with the precompiled Atlas Rblas.dll. Running the code below causes R to crash. I started R using Rgui --vanilla and am using the precompiled Atlas Rblas.dll from cran.fhcrc.org dated 17-Jul-2007 05:04 for Core2 Duo. The code that causes the crash: x <- rnorm(100) y <- rnorm(100) z <- rnorm(100) loess(z ~ x * y) loess(z ~ x) does

Hi, Unfortunately it looks like this problem has somehow been reintroduced. I am now trying to build R-devel 54683 from source, again following the manual. I get the same error as below: gcc -std=gnu99 -I../../include -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -O3 -Wall -pedantic -c zutil.c -o zutil. o make[4]: *** No rule to make target `Rzlib.def', needed by `Rzlib.dll'. Stop. make[3]: *** [rlibs] Error 1

When I try to build/install the quadprog package under R1.50 and NT4 it seems to have trouble finding blas routines. I'm currently using the generic blas routines, rather than ATLAS or some other tuned implementation: > Rcmd INSTALL d:/temp/quadrprog ... gcc --shared -s -o quadprog.dll quadprog.def quadprog.a quadprog_res.o -Lc:/a pps/rw1050/src/gnuwin32 -lg2c -lR

I think this is not a R-devel question. Sorry to all if I'm wrong, please let me know. I managed to build R successfully with the default BLAS but when I change the MKRULES to use ATLAS BLAS and set the path to "C:/cygwin/home/Administrador/ATLAS/lib/WinNT_ATHLONSSE2" I got the following error message (I'm posting only the final part, there was a lot of compilation before this):

Dear All, I'm trying to compile R for Windows 64 bit. I'm following the instructions of R installation and administration guide v2.15.2 (3.1; A.3.1.4; C.2.2) and at the moment I compiled the default version (single threaded, gcc, without external BLAS) ?on my notebook (windows xp 32 bit) Now I'm trying to compile it on Windows servers 64 bit with the next configuration : 1.
