thanks,
I run into the following error message when running R CMD check
"Source packages should not contain undeclared executable files"
in reference to the following instruction from the help manual:
"R CMD check will warn about them unless they are listed (one filepath per
line) in a file BinaryFiles at the top level of the package."
I created a file called 'BinaryFiles' placed in 'myPkg' directory.
'BinaryFiles' lists the path of the executable files that are included
in myPkg/executables/win32. however I am still getting an error:
Warning in readLines("BinaryFiles"): incomplete final line found on 'Binary
Files'
