Hello all,
I was trying to compile a simple C program hello.c using R CMD SHLIB
hello.c.
MY R software residing in C:\Program Files\R\R-2.15.0, and also I have
downloaded the Rtools 2.15.0 and it is in C:\Rtools, MY file(hello.c) is in
E:\R_dir.
I have followed the procedures given below
1. In a new CMD.exe window I have set the path as
c:\ Rtools\bin; C:\Rtools\MinGW\bin;C:\Program Files\R\R-2.15.0\bin
2. I have changed the directory to E:\ where my file(hello.c) is residing
E:\>cd \R_dir
then I have given the command like this
E:\>cd \R_dir> R CMD SHLIB hello.c
Then I am getting the following message
cygwin warning:
MS-DOS style path detected: E:/PROGRA~1/R/R-214~1.0/etc/
i386/Makeconf
Preferred POSIX equivalent is:
/cygdrive/e/PROGRA~1/R/R-214~1.0/etc/i386/Makeconf
CYGWIN environment variable option "nodosfilewarning" turns off this
warning.
Consult the user's guide for more details about POSIX paths:
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#using-pathnames
Even though I have gone through several discussions in the same topic I am
not able to resolve my problem. It would be a great help if somebody knows
what exactly the problem and its solution and favorable suggestions.
There is no problem in what you posted - all you posted is merely
a note from cygwin that it prefers different path style, but it's
perfectly ok and doesn't affect anything.
Or put another way, the problem is a user read failure: see below.
>> So what exactly is the problem you're having?
Probably has something to do with PATH not being set correctly because
the Cygwin warning points to R-2.14.0 on E:, not R-2.15.0 on C:.
But as for the note, it *is* discussed in the appropriate manual. Search
for 'nodosfilewarning' in
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html#The-command-line-tools .
You most likely will need to set that environment variable.
See what the posting guide has to say about doing your own homework.
fortunes::fortune(14) applies.
The author of the docs you discourteously ignored (and much else you are
using).
