Hi, I'm maintaining randtoolbox package on CRAN and I wonder how to do a windows config file? I need to test SSE2 instructions support as well as inttypes.h library check.
Currently I use the trick of 'foreign' package, i.e. I have config.win file with cp -p src/config.h.win src/config.h and config.h.win was written manually from config.h.in. There is no test at all on windows. In 'writing r extension' on this topic, we find " You should bear in mind that the conï¬gure script may well not work on Windows systems (this seems normally to be the case for those generated by Autoconf, although simple shell scripts do work). If your package is to be made publicly available, please give enough information for a user on a non-Unix platform to conï¬gure it manually, or provide a âconfigure.winâ script to be used on that platform. (Optionally, there can be a âcleanup.winâ script as well. Both should be shell scripts to be executed by ash, which is a minimal version of Bourne-style sh.) " Which tool do I need to write config script on windows? Do I need an autoconf-cygwin solution? ( http://sources.redhat.com/autobook/autobook/autobook_242.html#SEC242 ) or just a port of autoconf available on sourceforge? Thanks in advance Christophe [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
