I'm trying (for the first time) to compile R-devel on my Windows2000 machine. I retrieved the most recent r-devel sources using rsync. I retrieved the R-tools and MinGW and made appropriate modifications to my path (I'm using cygwin): $ type make make is hashed (/c/netsrc/R-devel/tools/make) $ type gcc gcc is /c/mingw/bin/gcc $ type hhc.exe hhc.exe is /c/Program Files/HTML Help

Hi, I'm trying to get C code working with R. This is my first time writing C on Windows and I'm making a mess of it. Help! I'm following the example in Roger Peng's "An Introduction to the .C interface to R". The C code is: #include <R.h> void hello(int *n){ int i; for(i=0; i < *n; i++) { Rprintf("Hello, world!\n"); } } I seem to be unable

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 followed the example in "Writing R Extensions" to create a shared object in Windows, using the command R CMD SHLIB X.cc X_main.cc This was encountered: ../src/gnuwin32/MkRules:155: warning: overriding commands for target '.c.d' ../src/gnuwin32/MkRules:143: warning: ignoring old commands for target '.c.d' ../src/gnuwin32/MkRules:171: warning: overriding commands

It does have that effect, but the error messages are pretty obscure: c:\Rtools\MinGW\bin\windres.exe: rcico.rc:9: syntax error and Error on line 12 in e:\R\R-svn\r-devel\src\gnuwin32\installer\R.iss: Value

This is not a bug, it's a feature. It stops me from distributing versions with unintentional uncommitted changes.

Hello, I have been having a great deal of difficulty using R CMD SHLIB to generate the .so file from my C file. I am using Win XP, and I have cygwin installed. I updated to the latest MinGW make files in order to get rid of some error. But I still get a few warnings (shown below), and no shared file (.so file) produced at the end. C:\cygwin\home\Deepak>R CMD SHLIB ssa.h

Hi, (I am not longer on R-devel - please CC:) Just when Fedora 11 is shipping a gcc 4.4 based cross-compiler - the last major distro to ship a cross-compiler, but the first to ship a gcc 4.4- one.(both Suse & Debian has been so so for a while, and I expect Ubuntu as well), and the mingw people has finally released gcc 4.4 mingw builds, I am a little disappointed to find that cross-compling

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 in MkRules itself. Then, while in the directory src/gnuwin32 I ran 'make all

Dear All: I encountered and apparently overcame problems following Yan and Rossini?s procedure for "Building Microsoft Windows Versions of R and R packages under Intel Linux" (http://cran.r-project.org/doc/contrib/cross-build.pdf): I have successfully cross-compiled R packages for Windows on a FreeBSD 4.10 i386 system. My revisions to Makefile-rcb (http://cran.r-

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

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

Dear List, I have been experimenting with building packages from sources, having previously relied upon the binaries. I downloaded and installed all the tools suggested in http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/Rtools/ , including ActivePerl 5.6.1.631. I also downloaded the HTML Help workshop exe and installed it. During install though, a message popped up to say that I had a newer version of the

Hi, If I want to build R-patched from source (on Windows), do I need to edit Makefile and/or MkRules at all? I have followed all instructions in the INSTALL file (under R-patched/src/gnuwin32/), as well as downloaded all the files from http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/Rtools/ . My PATH variable has been modified accordingly. Now, with the only change to MkRules I made was to modify the Tcl/Tk

Dear R People: I'm starting to think that I should just install from the binary, but here is my latest effort to install from source on a Windows 7 64 bit: c:\R64\R-patched>cd src cd src c:\R64\R-patched\src>cd gnuwin32/ cd gnuwin32/ c:\R64\R-patched\src\gnuwin32>set TMPDIR=c:\temp set TMPDIR=c:\temp c:\R64\R-patched\src\gnuwin32>make all recommended make all recommended

I know I am going to catch alot of comments for this question but I am really stuck. If there is some written documentation that I have missed please redirect me. I want to build 'R' from source on a Windows Platform. The main reasons are that I want to check out a debugging some existing packages so I need to build with debug symbols and I want to check out a 64-bit version of

Hi all, I have been experiencing difficulties building R (be this 2.13.1, beta, devel, or rc) on Windows 7 64bit. I believe I am following the manual religiously, and don't think I am doing anything differently from the many successful build attempts in the past. Unzipping the tarball works fine, but when I invoke make, I get (shown for R-rc, same for 2-13.1):

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