On Windows, you can also use win-builder to prepare a package. On either the Mac or Windows you can also do it locally. Then look into drat (eg at http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/code/drat.html) to see how super-easily you can set up and host a 'R repository' (ie like CRAN) at GitHub (or if you prefer, locally). We use both at work to supply some 'public but not on CRAN' as well as local/non-public packages. Note that you still need to build the binary packages---but with drat it becomes install.packages() as usual. | The point is that i like to install it without C/C++ compiler on the other | machines. I understand that. But it is not the Rcpp team's fault that Windoze ships without a compiler (or that R does not include Rtools). It is what is it, and (literally) tens of thousands of developers have learned to cope within these constraints. | Following the ancient discussions of this email, I have to generate the binary | package using: R CMD INSTALL --build ‘package', rather than R CMD | build ‘package’. Yes. I think years ago R CMD build had an option for that too. | So in my case, there is a difference between R CMD INSTALL —build and R CMD | build when generating a binary package. Yes. I believe this is all documented in either Writing R Packages, or R Installation and Administration, and both came with your R installation. Good to know you have it all working, so we can close this now.
