Hello,

I'm facing problems with compiling a package (containing only R-code and dataset) under OSX for Windows.

Packages are 'installed': compilation is only involved if they contain C/Fortran/C++/... source code. It seems using the wrong term has misled people.

Is there a command line producing a zip archive that can be installed on Windows using the windows R GUI ?

Well, cross compiling was always rather difficult. Why not just you the winbuilder service, if you do not have access to a Windows box:
http://win-builder.r-project.org/
It also provides you with check results for the Windows platform.

Good point, but there is no 'cross-compiling' involved here.

Suppose I have a package 'mypkg' installed on Mac OS X (to give it the correct name). Then in a Terminal window

cd <directory above mypkg>
zip -r9X mypkg_ver.zip mypkg

where you need to set 'ver' to be the version number of the package, read from mypkg/DESCRIPTION.
