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?

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:

Ah yes, those. Replace the rpm -Uvh with yum update and it should resolve the dependencies for you. If that fails, just pass all of those deps (in "") to yum install. Sorry about that!

You can see how the appveyor build works here: https://github.com/rwinlib/base I suggest that you work off the build process in the rwinlib repository so you are starting from something that you know works and already incorporates the set of dependencies you need.

As the build process, especially for Windows, is changing significantly for R 3.2.0, I am trying to build R-devel in preparation. When running `make rinstaller`, I get the following error: cp -p ../../../etc/x64/Makeconf R-devel/etc/x64 mkdir -p R-devel/doc cp -p ../../../doc/CRAN_mirrors.csv R-devel/doc mkdir -p R-devel/doc/manual/images cp -pR ../../../doc/html R-devel/doc

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: >

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
