I would like to start building R packages under Windows XP. I have programming experience and a minimal but working knowlege of many Unix (-like) programming tools. The package functions (for now) will be from R source, not C or Fortran. I've installed Rtools, Perl, the MS hhc, and so on. I am setting up a command shell with the correct PATH for building packages. (The master Windows PATH

Dear All, With the warm support of every R expert, I have built my R library successfully. Especially thanks: Duncan Murdoch Gabor Grothendieck Henrik Bengtsson Uwe Ligges Without your help, I will lower efficiency.

Hello, Apologies in advance if this should be in R-devel, not Rhelp. I did read through the R-devel thread started by Gabor Grothendieck in September of this year - I am getting the exact same error using a new computer that has XP installed, not vista, complaining that the file hhc.exe is not found. I have downloaded the hhc.exe to HTML Help Workshop dir in Program Files but it says that

Hi I have a package which was built using R 1.9.1 and everything worked fine. I recently upgraded to R 2.0.1 and tried to re-install my package - and I got: Error in library(mypackage) : 'mypackage' is not a valid package -- installed < 2.0.0? So I tried rebuilding it using my new version of R: R CMD BUILD --binary mypackage hhc: not found cp: cannot stat `mypackage.chm': No

Hi, I have been developing a small package. It install under RedHat Linux 9.0 without a problem. However, I have a small problem under Windows XP. I am using R-1.8.0 on both systems and HTML Help Workshop 4.74.8702.0 on Windows XP. I created the package under Linux.

Hi, I am trying to build a package from source for the first time. I'm using Windows XP. After R CMD INSTALL or R CMD check I get an error message that I don't understand. I've tried to follow the instrucions provided in the R Installation and Administration .pdf and the text file that comes with Rtools, but most of this is new to me and clearly I'm missing something.

Hi I am still trying to wrap up a package using Rcmd (in windows 2000 professional with R 1.8.1).

Dear R-helpers, I'm having trouble compiling R packages from source on Win2K. I installed R 1.7.1beta [1] on my win2k machine [2], downloaded the fields package as source [3] and tried but failed to install the package [4]. I get the same problem with other packages, so it doesn't appear to be limited to fields. Installation of precompiled packages seems to work fine. I've been

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

Hello, I've spent a while reading about configuring WINE for use with hhc.exe to create .chm files. These instructions almost work: http://code.google.com/p/htmlhelp/wiki/HHW4Wine But, when comparing the Windows-generated .chm to the Linux-generated .chm, the Linux-generated one does not have sorted or consolidated index entries. It seems that whatever part of the process is responsible for

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

Several times my packages have fallen foul of the latex check at the uploading-to-CRAN stage, creating extra work for Kurt Hornik. I've never bothered trying to get latex working on my own packages (happy with vanilla help) but am told that "latex is the closest thing to a syntax checker for Rd files" and that I should set it up. Now, there is already a latex on my (Windows XP)

I'm looking for a Windows distribution of TeX that works with R, after a few years' absence from Windows. On Duncan Murdoch's Rtools page fptex is still recommended, but it turns out that fptex is "defunct" as of May 2005, see http://www.metz.supelec.fr/~popineau/xemtex-7.html So, what is suggested? TUG (tug.org) recommends something called proTeXt, which is said to be
