similar to: Building package with vignette

I noticed a shQuote fix for Windows in the svn logs. Just wanted to point out that this will favorably affect texi2dvi on Windows which previously used UNIX quoting and so generated an incorrect Windows command. (Note that texi2dvi is used when creating vignettes.) Another problem is that the recommended tex distribution for Windows, fptex, does not have texi2dvi in the first place. The

Hello, I'm seeing three different vignette-related errors with recent versions of R-3.0.0 alpha. First, with the package BitSeq (http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.12/bioc/html/BitSeq.html), I get the following when trying to build the package: Error: processing vignette ?BitSeq.Rnw' failed with diagnostics: Failed to locate the ?weave? output file (by engine ?utils::Sweave?) for

Hi, I am trying to create a Bioconductor package. Everything installs and checks fine. Now I'm on my last step, which is to create a vignette. I'm trying to test the Sweave process, to make sure I can build a vignette. I am stuck at the texi2dvi stage, which fails when I try to process the example Sweave-test-1.tex file. I am using Windows binary R distributions, and have the same

Hi R-devels, I encounter the following problem when I want to build a vignette in the package building process under Windows platform i386-pc-mingw32 arch i386 os mingw32 system i386, mingw32 status major 2 minor

I am new to R, Sweave, and LaTeX. I am running StatET with Eclipse 3.7 on a Windows 7 x64 OS. StatET also includes the Sweave add-on, which I use to try and compile a PDF document. I also installed MiKTeX 2.9, because, previously, R could not execute texi2dvi (presumably, because there was no TeX runner). Basically, no .tex file could be compiled into PDF file. After I installed MiKTeX, I was

Hello, I am trying to start using Sweave. I copy the example from help Sweave testfile <- system.file("Sweave", "Sweave-test-1.Rnw", package = "utils") ## enforce par(ask=FALSE) options(device.ask.default=FALSE) ## create a LaTeX file Sweave(testfile) ## This can be compiled to PDF by tools::texi2dvi("Sweave-test-1.tex", pdf=TRUE) and I

Hello R-developers! I am creating a package (using devtools and RStudio) and I would like to split my vignette into multiple Rnw-files. As an example I tried the code from: https://support.rstudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/200486298 (--> Working with multiple Rnw files) The Rnw-files work fine with "Complie pdf" in RStudio as well as with Sweave("Master.Rnw"). But, if I try

Sorry, I forgot to include a reproducible example on my last e-mail but here it is: Since the file is large to be included here: The path to the foo.Rnw examples is: www.stat.umn.edu/~charlie/Sweave/foo.Rnw and is suppossed to produce a pdf like this one: http://www.stat.umn.edu/~charlie/Sweave/foo.pdf I have downloaded MiKTEX but I don't know how to make it work. Sweave and Stangle seem to

I am working on a Windows XP machine with R 2.10.1 and a recent installation of MiKTeX 2.8. I use LyX (www.lyx.org) to write documents and have it set up to run Sweave, Stangle, and make the PDF through R using a batch script and a MakeSweave.R file. This system worked just fine until I ran some MiKTeX updates yesterday. This is a bit embarrassing as I helped produce a "How-to" guide to

Hello, All: The vignette with the sos package used "upquote.sty", required for R Journal when it was published in 2009. Current CRAN policy disallows "upquote.sty", and I've so far not found a way to pass "R CMD check" with sos without upquote.sty. I changed sos.Rnw per an email exchange with Prof. Ripley without solving the problem; see below. The

I am getting the following problem with make check-all on the June 24 rc. I realize I could probably fix it by installing/setting a path to the sty file, but I don't remember having to do that for make check-all in the past.

MiKTeX has abruptly removed texi2dvi.exe from its distribution. (MiKTeX broke its updating process earlier and an attempted update trashed the updater on my installation so I was forced to make a fresh install of the current distribution. I do not know if updates remove a currently installed texi2dvi.exe.) This has two consequences: 1) It is used by tools::texi2dvi() if found. As far as I

According to the MikTex bug reports [1], MikTex 2.9 has removed texi2dvi.exe last week (on 2015-09-29) as "it was not compatible (anymore) with the original shell script texi2dvi (GNU Texinfo)." I found this out the hard way as I just (unknowingly) updated MikTex this evening, and then, while building R-devel_2015-10-08 on Windows7 64bit using the Rtools 3.3 toolchain (4.9.3 branch), had

Hmm, look in MkRules.dist for the setting you failed to make .... Obviously available in R-patched and R-devel only as we cannot foretell such changes.

Dear R-users, I am going through the last steps of package prep before submission to CRAN and I have the following problem. My package contains a single vignette written in optimbase.Rnw and that in stored in /inst/doc. optimbase.Rnw contains multiple \input{} statements that refer to .tex files stored in /inst/latex.ref/, e.g.: \input{../latex.ref/optimbase-package.tex} When I compile my Rnw

Hi, all-- I've been working on a doParallel package to provide a foreach parallel backend for the new parallel package, but I am having trouble building the vignette. On my system, if I use the following minimal vignette (call it buggyVignette.Rnw): \documentclass[a4paper]{article} \title{Sweave Example 1} \author{Rich Calaway} \begin{document} \maketitle In this example

Dear all, I was hoping someone may know a way of running texi2dvi while ignoring bibtex errors, or any other work around (such as not running bibtex at all, if possible). The context is that I have an R program that does some calculations and writes a table into various folders, one per country for several countries. I have a latex file that takes the table as an input, and this latex file is

I am trying to pass a additional argument to texi2dvi, for example to use the aux-directory. Looks like this is not possible via options: options(texi2dvi='texi2dvi --tex-option="-aux-directory=auxdir"') texi2dvi(file = "GBPL3.tex", pdf = TRUE) #Error in system(paste(shQuote(texi2dvi), "--version"), intern = TRUE) : # '"texi2dvi

Dear all, This is my first post to the mailing list. I asked this question a little while ago on stackoverflow but did not get an answer. Please allow me to ask again. I have R set up on both Windows7 and kUbuntu12 machines. On Windows, I happen to have both MikTeX and TeXlive available (and both work). How could I instruct R to call TeXlive instead of MikTeX? Both MikTeX and TeXlive are on my

I want to include a vignette with a package I wrote. I did follow the "Writting R extentions" document step by step, but went I run "Rcmd build", an error occurs.
