The failures are *not* minor. Please don't distribute an R linked to a broken BLAS library. Those tests are not for fun: they came from real errors on real problems.

I tried to build R-2.14.0 on cygwin using the commands:
./configure --with-x=no
make

I started to get a whole lot of errors starting with:
/cygdrive/c/Users/mcarter/src/R-2.14.0/src/modules/internet/Rhttpd.c:275: undefined reference to `_R_InputHandlers'
which I have pasted at

http://pastebin.com/GFb2pq92

I'm aware that there is a cygwinports ports, but it seems outdated, and when I tried installing it, it was very lengthy and seemed more trouble that it was worth. I abandoned the installation attempt.


Any tips on a way forward?


just built R-2.14.0 deriving from R-2.13.1-1 of cygport.

 configure     --with-blas="$(pkg-config --libs blas)" \
               --with-lapack \
               --enable-R-shlib \
               TCLTK_LIBS="-ltcl84 -ltk84"  \
               --with-system-zlib \
               --with-system-bzlib \
               --with-system-pcre \
               --with-system-xz \
               --disable-openmp


almost all test passed

$ grep OK  R-2.14.0-1-check.log |wc -l
57

only 3 minor failures

$ find ../build/ -name *fail
../build/tests/Examples/parallel-Ex.Rout.fail
../build/tests/reg-BLAS.Rout.fail
../build/tests/reg-IO.Rout.fail

If you are interested I can provide you the binary package.

Marco
