Thanks again for the help. I went through readme.package a couple of times, but I still get the error below. It seems to be a little closer as I am no longer seeing CreateProcess in the output.
Beneath the error, I have pasted my modified MkRules. I think I am messing up/missing one or more of the paths in it, but I filled in all those that seemed obvious to me. Anyone spot anything wrong? gabe C:\Program Files\R\rw1081\src\gnuwin32>make libR.a dlltool -k --as as --dllname R.dll --def R.exp --output-lib libR.a make: *** [libR.a] Error 255 #-*- Makefile -*- ## This files contains tabs: make sure your editor leaves them unchanged. ## ===== configuration macros for building packages or R =============== # Alternatives MINGW (mingw), CROSS (Linux) BUILD=MINGW HELP = YES ifeq ($(strip $(BUILD)),CROSS) WINHELP = NO else WINHELP = CHM # NO, CHM, BOTH endif ## ============== configuration macros for building R =================== LEA_MALLOC=YES # Set to YES and specify the path if you want to use the ATLAS BLAS.
