I also have some Windows batch files that can help with this, the main benefit being that no enviornment variables or registry keys need to be set for R or for Rtools (although it will use them if set). A secondary benefit is that they do not require Admin privileges since they make no permanent changes to your system. R.bat is a single self contained Windows batch file that can start R.exe or Rgui.exe . It looks up the location of R and Rtools using the registry or if not found looks in standard locations. It also scans Rtools to discover the appropriate path to its directories. It works by temporarily setting the required environment variables eliminating the need to set any such variables yourself. Using it installation of R is as simple as installing R and Rtools using the defaults (they both have automated installers so this is simple) and then placing R.bat anywhere on your path. Running is just a matter of using (1) 'R.bat' in place of 'R.exe' and (2) 'R.bat gui' in place of 'Rgui.exe'. They are available by downloading these two files (the second is the documentation): https://batchfiles.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/R.bat https://batchfiles.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/batchfiles.md On some systems its heuristic won't work and in that case use: https://batchfiles.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/Rpathset.bat which is a simple batch file that can be edited manually (so its not as automatic as R.bat but due to its simplicity you may have fewer problems). It also eliminates the need to set any environment variables or to make other changes in the registry and is also documented in the above md file. Some of these installation simplifications are alternately provided in some form in Rcpp itself as well as in the devtools and installr packages. These packages allow one to do this from within R whereas these batch files work from the Windows cmd line. In addition to the cited documentation there is some info on these and other batch files on the home page: http://batchfiles.googlecode.com _______________________________________________ Rcpp-devel mailing list Rcpp-devel@lists.r-forge.r-project.org https://lists.r-forge.r-project.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rcpp-devel
