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. Here's

The MinGW people have finally released a couple of builds of gcc 4.2.1 (and finally moved the build of 3.4.5 to release status after 19 months as 'candidate'). We intend to use gcc 4.2.1 for the binary distribution of R 2.6.0, and builds of R-devel are being made with it from now on. The R-admin manual now contains details of the pieces you need, and in due course there will be an

To: Windows Users ----------------- We would appreciate your comments on future possibilities for help on Windows systems. I have put up a pre-test version based on the current R-release snapshot at http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/bdr/RWin/rwtest999.zip (ca 4.5Mb) ftp://ftp.stats.ox.ac.uk/.... (999 means Sept 1999, BTW). This has (i) text help (ii) HTML help to be viewed in Netscape/IE*

Thanks to help from this forum I finally got Office 97 to install (almost) correctly on wine. Word, PowerPoint, Access, etc all load and seem to function. However, the help feature doesn't work in any of the above. The .hlp files are loaded into drive_c>Program Files>Microsoft Office>Office. In Word when I click on "Help>Contents and Index, I get a list of topic, but when

Dear R-help, I have encountered some errors when trying to compile R-1.3.1 from source on my WinNT4SP6 laptop (PII w/128MB RAM). I have installed all the tools following the instruction in src/gnuwin32/INSTALL, with the exception that the mingw compiler I have might be a bit older (they are the ones recommended for R-1.3.0, I believe). I have also compiled the ATLAS libraries from source using

Full_Name: Allan Stokes Version: 2.8.1 OS: XP Submission from: (NULL) (24.108.0.245) I've just spent a hellish six hours trying to create my own R package with a bare bones "hello world" R function inside. I was able to create a package.tar.gz file eventually with much perseverance. My remaining problem is that when I try to install my simple package under RGui, it hangs.

The MinGW-w64 project, whose toolchains we use for 64-bit Windows, have made some changes to their conventions *and* removed all the older binary builds from their site. The current toolchains are not suitable for use with R 2.11.x, and I've re-packaged an older version (which is) as http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/Rtools/oldWin64toolchain.zip The most critical change is to no longer have

I used the packaged "MinGW-2.0.0-3.exe" exactly as specified on http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/Rtools/ - in fact I used these recommendations throughout. According to the release notes MinGW version 2.0.0 contains the following list of packages: GCC-3.2-core-20020817-1 binutils-2.13-20020903-1 mingw-runtime-2.2 w32api-2.0 gdb-5.1.1-1 make-3.79.1-20010722 (binary renamed as mingw32-make)

Then "R CMD config --help" could at least spit out an error stating what should be installed (rather than die with an execution error straight from the DOS). Setting an "sh" in the %Path% (sh coming from cygwin) does not seem to lead to something working

We have been asked for a couple of years about builds of R for 64-bit Windows, e.g. at UserR 2006. Users of 64-bit Windows still seem very thin on the ground, but apparently 'Microsoft scraps 32-bit operating systems Microsoft has announced that Windows Server 2008 will be the last 32-bit system it releases, for servers or clients, as it makes its way fully into the world of

Dear R-devel, I installed R-2.9.1 on the 'y:' drive which happens to be mounted to an IBRIX file system. I also downloaded and installed the Rtools bundle recommended for 2.9x. When I build a source package launching R via RGui.exe it seems to work fine: ## setting path according to "Appendix E The Windows toolset" >

Never mind. Found the solution: the package coded the rtools path in Makevars.win. So I was able to compile (but have another problem though). But not sure if there is an environment name for rtools, maybe RTOOLS_HOME ...

I have a shareware product that I sell that is windows only (due to the development system, it never will be ported to Mac or Linux). I have been testing it on WINE for about two years and now it almost works with latest version. I want to pass on some info to the makers of the compiler (so mine and other apps will run under wine). One problem I have is that the CHM Help system does not work on

Dear R users, I am having problems building R packages in Windows xp. I have followed the instructions from Peter E. Rossi in Documentation -> Other, except for the TeX version (fpTeX), since when I go to the recommended webpage, it is said that fpTeX has been discontinued. I have MikTeX in my computer, and I have followed the recommendations in

The Wine development release 1.2-rc3 is now available. What's new in this release (see below for details): - Many translation updates. - A lot of bug fixes.

Works correctly for me in the Rtools directory on 2.3.1. Any more clues as to how to reproduce this?

Where is the bug here? It also does on a Unix-alike. Anything involving R CMD potentially needs the Rtools set in the path. R CMD config is primarily intended to be used in configure scripts in packages.
