Dear R developers,
I ran into some problems that I wish to get around.
Following the recommendation from "Building R for Windows" (Duncan's site) I
was able to obtain some files from Brian's site for relevant tools for
cross-compile. Initially I was able to cross-compile Windows packages happily
with the setup I had based on R 2.7.0 (essentially as described in
cran.r-project.org/doc/contrib/cross-build.pdf) but got it entirely muddled up
with R 2.11.0. I found this was actually not officially supported from R 2.9.0.
I then found I cannot even remove the Tcl directory (8-5-8) even I move or
rename it. Is there a way to do that?
I wonder if there is an equivalent of i586-mingw32 (x86_64-w64-mingw32-) or I
have to customise that myself. I got errors at various stage and at one time
i586-mingw32-nm could not recognise ch2inv.o that was generated. Perhaps I
would get some headway with alternative. Perhaps I would need also reestablish
my R 2.7.0 cross-compile to see if my initial build was just a fake.
Many thanks,
Jing Hua
