Thanks for the quick response.
Concerning your first point: the spaces in " Inno Setup 5" are not spaces
between different directories, this was just the name of the directory as
suggested during the installation procedure. Anyway, I have now added
underscores between the individual words in the directory name and in the path
definition.
Second, let me try to be more specific.
Basically, what I have done is modifying a few functions in an existing
package, in order to test whether my modifications would be an improvement
compared to the existing functionalities. I have therefore kept most of the
package as it was, including the folder structure. I have never encountered any
difficulties with the installation of the old package.
However, in order to avoid confusion between the existing package (let's call
it "oldpackage") and my trials (let's call them "newpackage"), I have modified
the name of the file with R code that contains the modified functions. I have
also given a separate name to my package, and I have modified the NAMESPACE
accordingly.
The original package also contained C++ code, which was duly put in the "src"
folder. When I first tried to build my package, I had forgotten to first delete
the dll created when "oldpackage" was built and I got warnings that the "dll"
files had not been declared. I have deleted them now. (I is not completely
clear to me whether I should run "R CMD SHLIB firstccfile.cc secondccfile.cc -o
newpackage.dll" or not - I have tried to do both with and without).
Now, when I run "R CMD build
Y:\Unit_TEM\3_TRAM\Projecten\N9393_ruimte_transport_model\newpackage", I get
the following messages:
*checking for file '
Y:\Unit_TEM\3_TRAM\Projecten\N9393_ruimte_transport_model\newpackage/DESCRIPTION'
.... OK
*preparing 'newpackage':
*checking DESCRIPTION meta-information ... OK

*checking for empty or unneeded directories
*looking to see if a 'data/datalist' file should be added
*building 'newpackage.tar_0.1-6.gz'
ERROR

When I check the package with R CMD check
Y:\Unit_TEM\3_TRAM\Projecten\N9393_ruimte_transport_model\newpackage, I get the
following info from "00install"
* installing *source* package 'newpackage'...

And the following info from the corresponding log file:

Installation failed.
See 'C:/Users/franckxl/newpackage.Rcheck/00install.out' for details.
I have verified similar error messages that were reported on various discussion
forums, and most answers I have seen suggested that this may be due to Rtools
not being installed. However, I have re-installed the most recent version of
Rtools this morning, so I cannot see how this could be the source of the
problem. (At least, if it is sufficient to install the R 2.15.x toolchain in a
package that includes a C++ interface - I do not find the explanation in the "R
installation and administration" manual very clear on this specific point.)
I hope this is sufficient information to clarify the problem.

Unsufficient information to know that, but the PATH above is incorrect, you
must not have spaces between the separate directories.
In addition, we need full information what you tried when you said R CMD build
and how the directory looked like. Do you have write permission in the parent
directory etc.
