Hi Everyone: I've been going through Alan Lenarcic's package tutorial but when I did R CMD SHLIB Xdemo.cc Xdemo_main.cc -o Xdemo.dll I got the following error: XDemo_res.rc:15:38: warning: missing terminating " character
XDemo_res.rc:23:34: warning: missing terminating ' character c:\mark\research\Rtools\MinGW\bin\windres.exe: XDemo_res.rc:16: syntax error make: *** [XDemo_res.o] Error 1 The XDemo_res.rc file is below but I can't tell from that what the error might be ? His tutorial was constructed in 2007 so maybe something has changed slightly which is causing the problem ? I realize that this is a pretty undetailed description so if anyone is interested in helping me, I can send the DESCRIPTION file and NAMESPACE file or the link to his package tutorial etc.  I'm using R 2.8.1 on windows. Oh, also , if anyone does respond, I won't be able to respond back till after 11pm US  Eastern Time. Thanks a lot. #include <windows.h> #include "Rversion.h" VS_VERSION_INFO VERSIONINFO FILEVERSION R_FILEVERSION PRODUCTVERSION 3,0,0,0 FILEFLAGSMASK 0x3L FILEOS VOS__WINDOWS32 FILETYPE VFT_APP BEGIN    BLOCK "StringFileInfo"    BEGIN        BLOCK "040904E4"        BEGIN            VALUE "FileDescription", "DLL for R package `test Version: 0.0 Date: 2009-03-31 Title: Test Package Author: Mark Leeds <[1]markle...@verizon.net> Maintainer: Mark Leeds <[2]markle...@verizon.net> Depends: R (>= 2.8.1) Description: A set of demonstration functions using C, C++, R-code License: GPL (version 2 or later)'\0"            VALUE "FileVersion", "unknown\0"            VALUE "Compiled under R Version", R_MAJOR "."
