Dear all,
I really appreciate your help. I think I have a little advancement. ^_^
Now I use the package.skeleton() function to create a template. I type:
f <- function(x,y) x+y
g <- function(x,y) x-y
d <- data.frame(a=1, b=2)
e <- rnorm(1000)
package.skeleton(list=c("f","g","d","e"), name="example")
in R. I know it will create a folder named "example" in the path of
"\R\rw2011\" I opened this folder, its format is similar as other library. Then
I modify it "DESCRIPTION" file:
Package: example
Version: 1.0-1
Date: 2005-07-09
Title: My first function
Author: Ivy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Maintainer: Ivy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Description: simple sum and subtract
License: GPL version 2 or later
Depends: R (>= 1.9), stats, graphics, utils
I don't whether I should modify other "README" file.
When I enter the Dos environment, at first, into the D:\>, I type the following
code:
cd Program Files\R\rw2011\
bin\R CMD install /example
Well, there appeared error:
---------- Making package example ------------
adding build stamp to DESCRIPTION
installing R files
installing data files
installing man source files
installing indices
not zipping data
installing help
>>> Building/Updating help pages for package 'example'
Formats: text html latex example chm
d text html latex example chm
e text html latex example chm
f text html latex example chm
missing link(s): ~~fun~~
g text html latex example chm

hhc: not found
cp: cannot stat `D:/PROGRA~1/R/rw2011/example/chm/example.chm': No such
file or
directory
make[1]: *** [chm-example] Error 1
make: *** [pkg-example] Error 2
*** Installation of example failed ***
Removing 'D:/PROGRA~1/R/rw2011/library/example'
That's it. I have to consult every R expert. Please help to solve this issue.
Thank you very much!

Read the R Extensions manual for a detailed description. You can use
the package.skeleton() function to create a template, but you need to
edit it to make it acceptable.

That's complaining about your bad DESCRIPTION file.
