One use-case for running R under wine is for a package developer to be able to test her packages on Windows without having to have a Windows box. At least in Bioconductor, a vast majority of package developers use Linux for their development. Finding ways to allow them to test on Windows (where a majority of _users_ are found) makes a lot of sense to me. And I'm pretty sure that cross-compilation is quite easy. Just like building R from source on Windows, you just follow the 16 easy steps and it works ;-) + seth ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
