Problem Sweaving vignettes: MiKTeX's texi2dvi reports errors
Hi,
I am trying to create a Bioconductor package. Everything installs and checks
fine. Now I'm on my last step, which is to create a vignette. I'm trying to
test the Sweave process, to make sure I can build a vignette. I am stuck at
the texi2dvi stage, which fails when I try to process the example
Sweave-test-1.tex file.
I am using Windows binary R distributions, and have the same

Windows vignettes, shQuote, texi2dvi
I noticed a shQuote fix for Windows in the svn logs.
Just wanted to point out that this will favorably
affect texi2dvi on Windows which previously used
UNIX quoting and so generated an incorrect Windows
command. (Note that texi2dvi is used when creating
vignettes.)
Another problem is that the recommended tex
distribution for Windows, fptex, does not have texi2dvi
in the first place. The

Building manuals are failing now that MikTex 2.9 has removed texi2dvi.exe
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

TEXINFO error when building R-3.4.0
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:

R Compilation gets stuck on Windows 64
Hi Avraham,
What a coincidence, I have been following this post of yours:

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

running texi2dvi without running bibtex
Dear all,
I was hoping someone may know a way of running texi2dvi while ignoring
bibtex errors, or any other work around (such as not running bibtex at
all, if possible).
The context is that I have an R program that does some calculations
and writes a table into various folders, one per country for several
countries. I have a latex file that takes the table as an input, and
this latex file is

Hmm, look in MkRules.dist for the setting you failed to make ....
Obviously available in R-patched and R-devel only as we cannot foretell
such changes.

texi2dvi runs but produces no output
I am working on a Windows XP machine with R 2.10.1 and a recent
installation of MiKTeX 2.8. I use LyX (www.lyx.org) to write documents
and have it set up to run Sweave, Stangle, and make the PDF through R
using a batch script and a MakeSweave.R file. This system worked just
fine until I ran some MiKTeX updates yesterday. This is a bit
embarrassing as I helped produce a "How-to" guide to

R Compilation gets stuck on Windows 64
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?

On Windows, texi2pdf looks for the texify.exe of Miktex, but looks in a

Error in building pdf manual with Rtools
Dear list,
I am trying to produce a pdf manual using Rtools (version 3.1.0.1936) on Windows 8 (64-bit).

compiling R-devel
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
