Had some fun today, and thought it might be a good idea to share and possibly for inclusion to R/src/gnuwin32/README.packages .
Wine/linux : while R, ActiveState Perl, mingw all works alright under wine, the blocking issue is Rtool's cygwin dependency. forking (as much of make and sh is forking sub-processes) on posix-on-win32-on-posix currently doesn't work. (http://wiki.winehq.org/CygwinSupport) Cross-compiling: The instruction in R/src/gnuwin32/README.packages essentially works, with one missing detail: "R_EXE=/usr/bin/R" is also needed. Thus it should be: make R_EXE=/usr/bin/R PKGDIR=/mysources RLIB=/R/win/library \ pkg-mypkg make P_EXE=/usr/bin/R KGDIR=/mysources RLIB=/R/win/library \ pkgcheck-mypkg Hin-Tak Leung ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
