[Note: if this should go to one of the other R maillists,
apologies...and let me know *which* other list...]
I use the WinEdt editor for ll my TeX work, and several years back,
installed the RWinEdt package in R to allow me to use WinEdt as my R
edtior as well. Worked, and continues to work, perfectly (currently
using R 3.5.3, RWinEdt 2.0, and WinEdt 6 -- WinEdt 6 being way behind
the current release 10.x, but newer version have no new features I felt
compelled to get by upgrading).
However, with the likelihood I'll need to move some of my Windows 7
machines -> Windows 10, I wondered about getting the WinEdt-RWinEdt
combination working on a new machine. So, I built a Win 10 machine,
clean install, and then did a base install of R 3.5.3 (nothing else
beyond base). Installed latest RTools, and put it in the path (since
there doesn't seem to be a Windows binary for RWinEdt). Fired up R with
admin privileges, and then tried to install RWinEdt. Tried, but...failed
miserably (console log of one attempt, below). Got the following compile
failures -- replete with NameSpace errors, and a strange comment that
RWinEdt is designed for the Windows RGui only (strange, since I *am*
installing/compiling on a Windows machine).
Being curious, I then re-tried the same exercise using a clean Windows 7
install. Same issue. Then, retried both, using WinEdt 6. Same issue.
So, there seems to be a problem with getting RWinEdt installed. For the
moment, I'm not too fussed, since I have it working fine on my main work
machines. However, if I need to setup a new machine in future (Win 7 or
Win 10), I'd like to be able to do a 'fresh' install of R, WinEdt and
RWinEdt.
Any suggestions?
Thanks...
