Dear r-devel members, I tried to build R packages on a PC running Windows XP but experience problems. However, it is ok when there is no inst directory in a package.
Any help would be appreciated. The following is an example, C:\work>R CMD check VR_7.2-19.tar.gz * checking for working latex ... OK * using log directory 'C:/work/VR.Rcheck' * using R version 2.1.1, 2005-06-20 * checking for file 'VR/DESCRIPTION' ... OK * looks like 'VR' is a package bundle * this is bundle 'VR' version '7.2-19' * checking if this is a source bundle ... OK installing R.css in C:/work/VR.Rcheck Looks like `C:/work/VR.Rcheck/00_pkg_src/VR' is a package bundle ---------- Making package MASS ------------ adding build stamp to DESCRIPTION installing NAMESPACE file and metadata making DLL ... making MASS.d from MASS.c making lqs.d from lqs.c gcc -Ic:/PROGRA~1/r/rw2011/include -Wall -O2 -c MASS.c -o MASS.o gcc -Ic:/PROGRA~1/r/rw2011/include -Wall -O2 -c lqs.c -o lqs.o ar cr MASS.a MASS.o lqs.o ranlib MASS.a windres --include-dir c:/PROGRA~1/r/rw2011/include -i MASS_res.rc -o MASS_res. gcc --shared -s -o MASS.dll MASS.def MASS.a MASS_res.o -c:/PROGRA~1/r/rw201/src/gnuwin32 -lg2c -lR ...
