Thanks for the thoughts. I have now got past this road block, and have almost managed to build everything. Along the way, it is clear there are some glaring omissions/misleading statements in the current documentation. When I have it all working, I will write it up on R-devel and perhaps some one could update the documentation. Bill Northcott PS The immediate cause of the header file problems was src/gnuwin32/ fixed/h/config.h. This needs to be regenerated for every build configuration. This is not documented except obliquely in src/ gnuwin32/Maintainer.notes ______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
