Hello. I am trying to build 64 bit R-3.4.0 (specifically R-patched_2017-04-23) on Windows 64 and have run into an issue with building the html files. I am using Rtools34 version 1962, the texinfo zip from <http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/Rtools/> unzipped into C:\R\texinfo, and Strawberry perl 5.24.1.1-64bit. In my MkRules.local I have the following, which worked for building R in 3.3.x:
# set this to YES to build static HTML help BUILD_HTML = YES # unset this if you are *not* using MiKTeX MIKTEX = TRUE # Recent MiKTEX does not provide texi2dvi and needs something like TEXI2DVI = TEXINDEX=C:/Rtools/bin/texindex.exe texify # for texinfo >= 5.1. If the texinfo files are installed at /packages/texinfo, TEXI2ANY = C:/Strawberry/perl/bin/perl.exe -I/C:/R/texinfo C:/R/texinfo/texi2any # if you do not have texinfo (default), # TEXI2ANY = missing Nevertheless, while building R-3.4 I get the following error: ------ Making HTML documentation ------ creating doc/manual/version.texi creating doc/manual/R-FAQ.html Can't locate Texinfo/Convert/Texinfo.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Tex info::Convert::Texinfo module) (@INC contains: \usr\local\share\texinfo\lib\Text -Unidecode\lib \usr\local\share\texinfo\lib\Unicode-EastAsianWidth\lib \usr\loca l\share\texinfo\lib\libintl-perl\lib \usr\local\share\texinfo /C:/R/texinfo C:/S trawberry/perl/site/lib C:/Strawberry/perl/vendor/lib C:/Strawberry/perl/lib .) at C:/R/texinfo/texi2any line 100.

Any and all help would be appreciated. Thank you, Avi ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
