What part? Setting the CYGWIN env var is to just shut a noisy warning from Rtools off. It does not suggest you should use Cygwin. The rest seems correct to me. | 2) The Rtools documentation specifies that the Rtools paths should | come BEFORE cygwin paths. Is there a similar rule for MSys? MSys is not needed, it is just for you convenience. But yes, I place its part before Cygwin too. | 3) Should I continue to just used the MinGW installed with Rtools or | should I/can I use a fresh install of MinGW? As it stated repeatedly in several places, use the same compiler that R was built on for Windows to build your add-ons such as Rcpp or RInside code. If you know what you're doing you can swap other compilers. One guys apparently happily plugged in a newer MinGW: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21355022/how-to-use-rcpp-with-tdm-gcc-4-8-1/ I would not recommend that you start there. Keep it simple. Follow the documentation. Things tend to work if you do. Once you know the ropes, do whatever :) Dirk -- Dirk Eddelbuettel | [email protected] | http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com _______________________________________________ Rcpp-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.r-forge.r-project.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rcpp-devel
