Hi,
I found the following problem with recent R-devel
(2010-08-26 r52817) on Windows (32-bit and 64-bit):
'R CMD build <pkg>' gets stalled during vignett
creation for packages that have a Makefile in <pkg>/inst/doc.
It seems that the problem is that the commands used in the
Makefile for converting .tex to .pdf are not able to locate
the Sweave.sty file anymore (if I drop this file to
<pkg>/inst/doc, then the problem goes away).
This sounds like a problem that only the package maintainer could
address. Presumably it will be temporary: once they adjust to the new
organization of the share/texmf directory, things will be fine again.
The reorg is described in this NEWS item:
* Directory R_HOME/share/texmf now follows the TDS conventions, so
can be set as a texmf tree ('root directory' in MiKTeX parlance).
Before this reorg, the package maintainer didn't have to care about
where to find things in R_HOME/share/texmf. 'R CMD build' would just
find them by setting the TEXINPUTS envir variable appropriately (and
then commands in the inst/doc/Makefile file would find them too).
This reorg was checked in svn as rev 52256. I see the following
adjustments to TEXINPUTS:
** On Unix (src/scripts/Rcmd.in file):
-## Append 'share/texmf' to TeX's input search path.
-if test -z "$TEXINPUTS}"; then
- TEXINPUTS=".:${R_SHARE_DIR}/texmf:"
+## Append 'share/texmf/...' to TeX's input search path.
+if test -z "${TEXINPUTS}"; then
+ TEXINPUTS=".:${R_SHARE_DIR}/texmf/tex/latex:"
else
- TEXINPUTS=".:${TEXINPUTS}:${R_SHARE_DIR}/texmf:"
+ TEXINPUTS=".:${TEXINPUTS}:${R_SHARE_DIR}/texmf/tex/latex:"
fi
export TEXINPUTS
** On Windows (src/gnuwin32/fixed/etc/Rcmd_environ file):
-TEXINPUTS=.;${TEXINPUTS};${R_SHARE_DIR}/texmf;
+TEXINPUTS=.;${TEXINPUTS};${R_SHARE_DIR}/texmf/tex/latex;
The path seems to have been adjusted correctly. So my question is:
why isn't this working on Windows for packages that use a Makefile?
I don't know. My first assumption would that something in the Makefile
is wrong, but since you don't give any examples, I can't check.
