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 tried to follow the instructions "Building R for Windows" from here: http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/ I installed Rtools27.exe and the other tools suggested here: http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/Rtools.txt I followed the instructions in first Rtools link "Obtaining the R source code" and have a directory with the latest C:\R\R-2-6-1. Should the "Building R for Windows" document say something about what should be done next? Section 2.1 Simple compilation http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html#The-Windows-toolset says: ./configure make These two statements work find on Linux, but I must be missing something under Windows XP Pro? Any suggestions? Also, what changes must be made to build R on a 64-bit Windows box? Do R Tools work for a 64-bit environment? Thanks for any help on this. Earl F.
