I'm new to building packages that have source code and I didn't know
about that site. In any event, it is an experimental private build for
testing, and it is more convenient for me to do most of the testing in
a Windows environment. I've spent a lot of time failing to build from
source on Windows,

Hmm.. it's should be really easy those days - just get the Rtools29.exe from
http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/
and you should be set ...

and would prefer not to name myself as maintainer
of someone else's package.

But, since it looks like that might be the easiest route, I've just
let the maintainer know what I'm up to and asked if he's fine with me
doing that.

Thanks,
Harry

After that server went online, I see little (no) need for
cross-compilation, I must say.

That service is very useful indeed, but I can imagine
situations where one would be better off with cross-compiling
e.g. when compiling (on a customer's request) Windows versions
of packages that contain sensitive customer data.

Best,

I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) and R 2.7.1.

I've built a package from source (a modified version of gbm) and it
contains some C++ code.  I now want to cross-compile it to get a
Windows version.

I installed R using
 sudo apt-get update
 sudo apt-get install r-base
 sudo apt-get install r-base-dev

So far as I can tell, I've also followed all the instructions in the
guide to cross-compiling by Yan and Rossini.

When I try to cross-compile I get a load of errors, apparently due to
R.h (and possibly other things) not being found:

[etc. - snip]

I'd be grateful if anyone can suggest what I might be doing wrong.

Many thanks,
Harry
