Dear listers, I have developped a set of functions that I would like to package on a Windows XP plateform for some friends (this would be more simple than to deliver them as a source text file without handy help). I am working under Windows XP. Of course I have gone through the manual "Writing R extension" and try to sort out what a most simple "packaging" for beginner

I have some C code (using an old Borland compiler) that calls a DLL that I'd like to get working from Windows and R (so I can read ABF files -- Axon Binary Files -- directly in R). I thought a good first approach would be able to build R in Windows, so that's what I'm trying to do. [I've done test builds of R under Linux before, and that seemed fairly simple.] I've

Hi R users, Im trying to install XML source package (in window platform) using the following command. *install.packages(pkgs = "C:\\Documents and Settings\\skang\\Desktop\\Softwares\\R\\Library\\XML_2.6-0.tar.gz", repos = NULL, type = "source")* and get the following result. gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file /cygdrive/c/Rtools/bin/tar: Unexpected EOF in archive

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

Hi, I used .C to call the C functions inside R. Everything works fine on the linux sever. I installed cygwin on my windows xp x64 platform and used rcmd shlib xxx.c to compile. Everything works fine till now and xxx.dll is generated. But when I use dyn.load("xxx.dll") in R, it will open another R window and the original R window becomes "Not responding", nothing loaded in

I am trying to learn how to make a simple package that contains no C or Fortran code. I used package.skeleton(...) to make a package called "test". The directory and files look good. I downloaded and installed Rtools (www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/tools.zip). I added the path and from the dos prompt I can verify that make.exe and sh.exe both exist, but when I try to run "R

Hi, Apologies if this is the wrong list to be sending this question to. I am trying to install a copy of the R tools required to create / compile packages on windows. After downloading Rtools from http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/ windows keeps complaining that "The setup files are corrupted".

The information at http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html#The-MinGW-compilers and http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/ is slightly inconsistent about the compiler used to build Windows binary packages available through cran. The 'candidate' package of the recommended MinGW-5.0.0.exe installs g++/g77 3.4.4 (as does the updated installer MinGW-5.0.2.exe). "An

An updated toolchain is now being used for Windows' builds of R-devel: details are in the R-admin manual and at http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/ and http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/Rtools/ Both 32- and 64-bit parts of the toolchain use v2.0.1 of the Mingw-w64 project's runtime and a beta of gcc 4.5.4: the Mingw.org project's builds are no longer used. This should mean that

Hi, I'm having some problems installing packages from the source files on Windows, using R CMD INSTALL pkg. I'm running WindowsXP, and I've followed the instructions as per the README.packages file from the R installation. I ran into a hitch, with the install failing following a "hhc: not found" warning. I figured out that this was related to the html help workshop.

Dear R users, I am having problems building R packages in Windows xp. I have followed the instructions from Peter E.

Hi, I am new to Latex and in the process of installing miktex to work with R on windows XP professional. From earlier posts, I see that fptex was the preferred version, but it is no longer available. Now miktex is preferred. However, there are known issues with finding the style files in version 2.4. Fortunately, www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/mikitex.html provides a series of workarounds.
