Hi Avraham, What a coincidence, I have been following this post of yours: https://www.avrahamadler.com/2013/10/24/an-openblas-based-rblas-for-windows-64-step-by-step/ Looks like this post is slightly older than what you have shared previously. It is strange that you did not get the attachments. I am pasting the contents of the MkRules.local here:

Hi All, I am trying to compile R from source on a 64 bit Windows. I have downloaded and installed all the third party software as per the R - documentation. The compilation starts fine and after a while it stops with the following error message: D:/Rtools/mingw_64/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/4.9.3/../../../../x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lRgraphapp collect2.exe: error: ld

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

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 =

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

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. Windows

Hello. I am trying to build 64 bit R-3.4.0 (specifically R-patched_2017-04-23) on Windows 64 and have run into an issue with building the html files. I am using Rtools34 version 1962, the texinfo zip from <http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/Rtools/> unzipped into C:\R\texinfo, and Strawberry perl 5.24.1.1-64bit. In my MkRules.local I have the following, which worked for building R in 3.3.x: #

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 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

Full_Name: Bill Dunlap Version: 2.8.0dev OS: Windows XP Submission from: (NULL) (70.98.76.47) 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

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

Hi Avraham, A quick question - I realized I did not have *Perl* installed. So I installed *ActiveState Perl* right now. Also I see I need *texinfo* and *texi2any*. I was able to installed *texinfo* from here: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/texinfo.htm. But not sure where to get *texi2any*. Can you guide me in this step?

Please note that building R on Windows is documented in "R Installation and Administration", including links to external software. Particularly there is a link to texinfo which is part of Rtools. The documentation is maintained and it is a sufficient source of information for building R on Windows. https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-admin.html

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

Thanks for both the support & sage advice, Martin! And, aye, tis straightforward to convert the perl one-liner to a shell/sed idiom. A kind soul from the list has also offered to walk me through the "provide a patch" process and I'll do my best to get it right on Par 1 :-) -Bob On Mon, Jul 15, 2019 at 5:54 AM Martin Maechler <maechler at stat.math.ethz.ch> wrote: >
