Thank you all for the help . It seems I only need to change the back slash to forward slash to get things work .
As to using Cygwin as the shell, I couldn't find an instruction dedicated to Cygwin, should I just follow the " Installing R under Unix-alikes " ? Is there an easier way, like making use of the installed binaries. I will post future questions to R-devel. Thanks again. tong ----- Original Message ----- From: Duncan Murdoch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Monday, April 2, 2007 9:21 am Subject: Re: [R] Compiling C codes in Windows To: Martin Morgan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: Tong Wang <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, R help <[email protected]> > On 4/2/2007 4:53 AM, Martin Morgan wrote: > > Tong Wang <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > > >> Hi All, > > [...] > >> After I followed all the instructions in " Building R for > Windows" > > [...] > >> Anyway, I assumed that I need to run this command in Cygwin > > > > No, do this from a DOS shell. > > Cygwin is fine as a shell (it's what I use), but the rest of your > advice > is correct: > > > The usual problems are either missing > > components from the installation steps outlined in Building R for > > Windows, or an incorrect PATH variable so that windows or cygwin > > versions of programs are used rather than MinGW / Rtools. > > Duncan Murdoch > > > > > Also, this question belongs on the R-devel list, where those doing > > development work are more likely to see and respond to your > > questions. > > > > Hope that helps, > > > > Martin Morgan > >> > >> $ make all recommended > >> make: ./Rpwd.exe: Command not found > >> make[1]: ./Rpwd.exe: Command not found > >> make --no-print-directory -C front-ends Rpwd > >> make -C ../../include -f Makefile.win version > >> make Rpwd.exe > >> gcc -O3 -Wall -pedantic -I../../include -c rpwd.c -o rpwd.o > >> rpwd.c:22:20: direct.h: No such file or directory > >> rpwd.c: In function `main': > >> rpwd.c:42: warning: implicit declaration of function `chdir' > >> rpwd.c:45: warning: implicit declaration of function `getcwd' > >> make[3]: *** [rpwd.o] Error 1 > >> make[2]: *** [Rpwd] Error 2 > >> make[1]: *** [front-ends/Rpwd.exe] Error 2 > >> make: *** [all] Error 2 > >> > >> > >> Can I get some help with my quesitons , and some suggestions > concerning the best way to solve the whole problem ? > >> > >> THanks a lot for your help.. > >> > >> tong > >> > >> ______________________________________________ > >> [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 > >> and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. > > > > ______________________________________________ [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 and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
