Dear listers, I have developped a set of functions that I would like to package on a Windows XP plateform for some friends (this would be more simple than to deliver them as a source text file without handy help). I am working under Windows XP.
Of course I have gone through the manual "Writing R extension" and try to sort out what a most simple "packaging" for beginner (without compiled code, etc...) could be. I also read http://www.rap.ucar.edu/staff/ericg/RWinBuild.html It is very easy to build R packages in Windows (for Windows)... Perl has been installed and works fine C:\Perl (source http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/Download.html). R Tools have been installed: C:\Perl\Rtools (source: http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/tools.zip) R tools functions delivered work fine (ex: ls, etc...) R has been installed "at the root" of C:\ to avoid any blank in directory names: C:\R\rw2000 The PATH has been defined as environment variable in Windows XP as: C:\Perl\Rtools;C:\Perl\bin;...;C:\R\rw2000\bin A trial package named "AnExample" has been prepared as indicated in the example of package.skeleton() of the library "utils" and put in C:\ from there I have typewritten: C:\>RCMD build AnExample With this result: Can't open perl script "C:\R\rw2000/bin/build": No such file or directory I could catch that indeed 'build.exe' does not exist in this directory (which is true...) and tried to find it somewhere on my c: disk. Unfortunately, this 'build' or 'build.exe' file does not exist nor a 'check' file, nor any complementary command of Rcmd After some research hours (actually since yesterday...), I cannot find where I have got wrong yet... and considering the result, I am sure I got somewhere! Can somebody help me on this?
