Dear R users, My set-up: OS=Windows XP, R-2.9.2, Rtools210 I faced the follwing problem with the package compilation: There is no "/inst" or "/etc" subdirectory in the package-zip-file. And the content of the "/etc" subdirectory is lost, too. I tried a simplified "test" package. The "test" package has the following structure (see also attachement: "test" package as source file):
/test |---/inst | |---/etc | |---menus.txt | |---/man | |---mymean.Rd | |---test-package.Rd | |---/R | |---mymean.R | |---NAMESPACE |---DESCRIPTION The file "menus.txt" (inspired by the Rcmdr menu structure) contains one single comment line. The file "mymean.R" contains a simple function that computes the mean. Situation A) [R CMD BUILD test] works fine and the tar-ball contains the subdirectory "/inst/etc/" and the file "menus.txt". Situation B) [R CMD INSTALL --build test] generates the "test_1.0.zip" file without any error message. But: 1) This zip-file does neither contain the "/etc" folder nor the "menus.txt" file. 2) The installation created the folder "/test" in the library path /R-2.9.2/library/test/ , but this folder is locked by WindowsXP. That is, the access is denied and can only be resolved by re-defining the owner and the permission rights. 3) Having removed the package from the library, and trying to install the zip-package using "install from local zip files..." does the installation. But, the "/etc" folder is empty; the file "menus.txt" is missing. Is there a known problem/bug in the "R CMD INSTALL --build" process dealing with the subdirectories "/inst" and "/etc" and the contents of the these folders? How to resolve the problem?
