Hello everyone, I have a question regarding building the Rmysql packages from source in Windows.
I am currently using: Windows XP, R-2.2.0, Mysql 3.23 I have installed all of the tools from Installation and Administration and after following all the instructions to the letter, I compiled the binary and installed R 2.2.0 from source with no issues. This is the first time I have compiled the source R and the first time I have attempted building a package from source. When I read all of the RMySQL docs for creating the packages from source, (Installation and Admin and all the 'readme' docs in the package itself), there really seem to be only 2 basic instructions: 1) Ensure the paths are correct in src/Makevars.win 2) re-import the DLL 3) and then build. I ensure that my paths are correct in the src/Makevars.win file and then the 2nd part of the instructions discusses "re-importing" the libmysql.dll. However, when I use the Dlltool in the correct Mysql directory (c:\mysql\lib\opt) as directed, an error occurs below: "dlltool: can't open the def file: Libmysql.def" The "libmysql.def" file is located in the "c:\mysql\include\" directory where PKG-CPPFLAGS is pointing. Question (1)------------ Do you know of why this is occurring and how can I solve it? I could not find any documentation in Google or in the archives regarding this error. Then finally, the last instructions uses "Rcmd build -binary RMySQL". Question (2)------------ In what directory is this windows command line given? Under R/src/gnuwin32/? Thank you so much for your time and any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Best, Mark Mark A.
