Dear all, When porting my package to WinXP I have the following problem: I need to create an environment variable "MYVAR=c:\mypath" which I have saved in the control panel "System->My Computer" (under the `Advanced' tab).
I have two files which need to access MYVAR: config.win, Makefile.win While "config.win" does recognize MYVAR correctly, "Makefile.win" is not able to recognize MYVAR, when I do: "R CMD INSTALL mypkg". I need to add the line "MYVAR=C:\\mypath" to "Makefile.win" for "R CMD INSTALL" to work. Interestingly, when I "cd ./src" and call from the DOS command line: "NMAKE /f "Makefile.win" CFG="Release" then "Makefile.win" does recognize MYVAR correctly. Do you know what I need to do so that "Makefile.win" recognizes MYVAR? P.S.: If you think that this is the wrong mailing list for these type of questions please let me know which mailinglist I should contact.
