Hi Uwe,

Brian had some ideas that the problems are related to the shell that is
used. Is the problem still apparent in a very recent R-devel from few
days ago? I am just back from vacations and have not updated yet.
I experienced the same problems and I am just iterating automatically if
typical problems are apparent from the log files. I hope some if not all
parts are solved now and will do some new test runs shortly.

Sounds good. I just upgraded to R-2.12 (2010-09-13 r52905) on our 32-bit
Windows machine and I'll report here tomorrow after the next build run
has completed. I can already see that this new R solves the issue I
reported here:

Not true sorry (https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2010-September/058530.html)

As for the strange R CMD build/check errors on Windows I still see them.
A sample of Today's Victims:

  R\bin\R.exe CMD build AffyCompatible
  * checking for file 'AffyCompatible/DESCRIPTION' ... OK
  * preparing 'AffyCompatible':
  * checking DESCRIPTION meta-information ... OK
  * installing the package to re-build vignettes
  * creating vignettes ... ERROR
  Error: ERROR: no packages specified

  R\bin\R.exe CMD build ArrayTools
  * checking for file 'ArrayTools/DESCRIPTION' ... OK
  * preparing 'ArrayTools':
  * checking DESCRIPTION meta-information ... OK
  * installing the package to re-build vignettes
        -----------------------------------

  R\bin\R.exe CMD build beadarray
  --> produces no output at all and returns code 0.

etc...

Cheers,

Thanks!

Best,

Thanks,

Antivirus software? I suspect you already ruled that out, but it has
been the culprit for problems with mysteriously disappearing
intermediate files in several cases, so I thought I'd mention it.


Actually I didn't try that yet because we still build BioC release
(using R-2.11.1) on these 2 Windows boxes and we don't see any of
those problems for the release builds. But I will. Could it be that
the fact that 'R CMD build' and 'R CMD check' are R-based in R-2.12
(and not Perl-based anymore) make them more fragile when something
like an antivirus is messing around with the filesystem?

Thanks for the suggestion,
H.
