Dear Murdoch, After setting CYGWIN=nodosfilewarning, i re-ran the R CMD check and got following message:
* installing *source* package 'mypackage' ... ** libs ERROR: compilation failed for package 'mypackage' * removing 'C:/Rpackages/mypackage.Rcheck/mypackage' The log file contained following. * using log directory 'C:/Rpackages/mypackage.Rcheck' * using R version 2.13.0 (2011-04-13) * using platform: i386-pc-mingw32 (32-bit) * using session charset: ISO8859-1 * checking for file 'mypackage/DESCRIPTION' ... OK * this is package 'mypackage' version '1.1' * checking package name space information ... OK * checking package dependencies ... OK * checking if this is a source package ... OK * checking for executable files ... OK * checking whether package 'mypackage' can be installed ... ERROR Installation failed. See 'C:/Rpackages/mypackage.Rcheck/00install.out' for details. The src directory contains nothing since all my codes are in R and are in the R directory. I have checked that the code works fine in R console. My DESCRIPTION file is like this: Package: mypackage Version: 1.1 Date: 2011-07-14 Title: abcd Author: B N Mandal <[email protected]> Maintainer: B N Mandal <[email protected]> Depends: R(>= 2.13.0) Description: xyz License: GPL (>=2) and NAMESPACE file contains export(fun1) I have checked Rd files are fine. Can you suggest what may be wrong now? regards, BN Mandal On Tue, Aug 2, 2011 at 4:17 PM, Duncan Murdoch <[email protected]>wrote: > On 11-08-02 5:26 AM, Baidya Nath Mandal wrote: > >> Dear friends, >> >> I am building an R package called *mypackage*.
