Hi, I am on a Mac. Is there a way to convert a Windows source package so it can be installed on a Mac?
I have a package in zip form from a friend who runs Windows. I THINK that it is in compiled format for Windows. The Description says: Built: R 3.1.2 x86_64-w64-mingw32....windows I tried to convert it to a tgz then Install/Load on Mac R, but I get the error message: Error: package 'package' was built for x86_64-w64-mingw32 I can run Windows on Parallels Desktop, and the original zip format installs and loads OK. I'd prefer to run R on my Mac. Sorry if this is a stupid question: I read the R-exts and it doesn't say if you can or cannot do this.
