Now I want to install "mystuff" on my windows workstation. Can I
use
the same file mystuff.tar.gz. Do I need to do something
different with
R CMD build?
Ideally somebody has a tutorial for porting from linux to windows
this
way.
Thanks for your time.
The package source tar file is not directly installable on Windows.
That's not true. You just need to install the tools, and then it's
similar to Linux. The tools are available from http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools
.

Right, which I point to below Duncan. I was referring to a typical R
install on Windows, where your tools would not normally be available.

You need to create a .zip 'binary' package file.
There is a cross-building document here by Rossini and Yan:
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/contrib/cross-build.pdf
and the associated makefile here:
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/contrib/Makefile-rcb
I have not looked at them in detail relative to their applicability
to current versions of R, as they are a rather dated (circa 2003).
So caveat emptor.
If you might consider just directly building the packages on your
Windows system, Duncan provides an easy Windows installation that
contains the requisite tools (C and FORTRAN compilers, vanilla
Perl, etc.) here:
http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/
along with others that are referenced in the R-Admin Manual
Windows Toolset Appendix:
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html#The-Windows-
toolset
would enable you to build your package on Windows, including any C
or FORTRAN code that you might have in the package.
HTH,
