What else I need to do? In the Read-and-delete-me file following steps
are asked to perform:
* Edit the help file skeletons in 'man', possibly combining help files
for multiple functions.
* Edit the exports in 'NAMESPACE', and add necessary imports.
* Put any C/C++/Fortran code in 'src'.
* If you have compiled code, add a useDynLib() directive to 'NAMESPACE'.
* Run R CMD build to build the package tarball.
* Run R CMD check to check the package tarball.
I editied the help page for fn1() function (as I already communicated
in previous mail) as follows:
\name{fn1}
\alias{fn1}
\title{
A function.
}
\description{
A function.
}
\usage{
A function.
}
\arguments{
A function.
}
\value{
A function.
}
\author{
\bold{Me}
\cr
\email{m...@me.com}
}
And regarding th Namespace file, this time I put
"package.skeleton("trial1",namespace = FALSE, code_files =
"f:/trial.r")
"
I do not have any C/C++ code so I ignored 3rd step.
then Read-and-delete-me file asking me to build the package, so in
cmd, I run following:
cd C:\R_PackageBuild
Rcmd build –binary trial1
What I am missing in this entire process? Do you please point me?
Thanks,
