We have seen one other report of this (from someone cross-compiling) but cannot reproduce it, and pcre_dfa.exec.o should not be being linked in.
Please do check against the R-admin manual (the definitive source) that you have the same versions of tools as recommended. It looks like this is a bug in some version of ld.exe (from binutils). A possible workaround is to edit src/extra/pcre/Makefile.win and remove pcre_dfa_exec.c from CSOURCES. Then delete libpcre.a, and try making again. But if you have a buggy ld.exe, I would want to use a non-buggy one. On Mon, 13 Nov 2006, YONGWAN CHUN wrote: > Hello, > > > I was trying to build R from source on Windows XP.
