Hi, in Section 'Writing package vignettes' of 'Writing R Extensions' it says:
"Whenever a Makefile is found, then R CMD build will try to run make after the Sweave runs, so PDF manuals can be created from arbitrary source formats (plain LaTeX files, ...). [...] Note that the make step is executed even if there are no files in Sweave format, [...]". In my package, inst/doc/ file contains two files: Makefile, and report.tex. However, when running 'Rcmd build' on Windows with R v2.13.0 alpha (2011-03-27 r55091) I can only get 'make' to run (process inst/doc/Makefile) if I add a inst/doc/dummy.Rnw file, otherwise nothing happens. My Makefile contains: all: pdf pdf: report.tex texi2dvi --pdf report.tex clean: rm dummy.Rnw dummy.tex rm *.aux *.log *.toc Is it really necessary to add dummy.Rnw? Am I missing something? /Henrik > sessionInfo() R version 2.13.0 alpha (2011-03-27 r55091) Platform: x86_64-pc-mingw32/x64 (64-bit) locale: [1] LC_COLLATE=English_United States.1252 [2] LC_CTYPE=English_United States.1252 [3] LC_MONETARY=English_United States.1252 [4] LC_NUMERIC=C [5] LC_TIME=English_United States.1252 attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] tools_2.13.0 ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
