With 2.4.1, "wine Rgui.exe" launches the main Rgui window, then crashes and dropped with debug traces without being able to get to the Rconsole tab. Logically it is a wine "bug", since the same binary runs under genuine windows, but it looks like it is due to change from mingw, so I guess I should involve both parties. BTW, I am also cross-compiling some R packages with the cross tools provided by Prof Ripley. Presumably it means that I need to hack away the bundled mingw stuff in the cross-tool and replaced them with the newer mingw libraries as well? (the whole thing with wine is so that I can cross-compile and test right away...)
