RE: [R] Building an R package under Windows NT
The version of Perl I have is: This is perl, version 5.005_02 built for MSWin32-x86-object Copyright 1987-1998, Larry Wall Binary build 506 provided by ActiveState Tool Corp. http://www.ActiveState.com Built 15:40:37 Oct 27 1998 It was installed by my IS department some time ago. I will try installing Perl 5.8 and see if that works. Since Rcmd build -h does not print a description of the acceptable values for --docs=, I thought I would look for something similar. The --docs=TYPE option for build and the --type=TYPE for Rdconv looked related so I thought I would give it a try. Without knowing what the correct values for --docs=TYPE are, how am I suppose to know that --docs=TYPE is not the same as --type=TYPE for specifing what types of help documents to create? I don't think it is a stretch to see how these two could be confused. -Original Message- From: Prof Brian Ripley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 03, 2003 12:48 AM To: STABLER Benjamin Subject: RE: [R] Building an R package under Windows NT On Mon, 2 Jun 2003 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Professor Ripley, I just downloaded and installed the most current tools from your site (http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/Rtools/), I have version 5.005_02 of Perl, and I still get the same error.

RE: [R] Building an R package under Windows NT
The emme2 package is not in the $RHOME/library directory. My sh.exe is the most current one from the tools available at http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/Rtools/.I searched for sh.exe and that is only one I've got on my system. -Original Message- From: Duncan Murdoch [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 02, 2003 5:09 PM To: STABLER Benjamin Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [R] Building an R package under Windows NT On Mon, 2 Jun 2003 14:08:55 -0700 , you wrote: Thanks for the suggestions. 1) I fixed the zip.exe PATH issue. 2) I removed unnecessary quotes around C:\Program Files\R 3) I ran Rcmd install emme2 with the following result: Where is emme2?

RE: [R] Building an R package under Windows NT
I finally figured out the problem. I went ahead and installed Perl 5.8 but that didn't do it. The problem was that an existing program's directory was earlier in the PATH and so one (or more) of the components of the Rcmd INSTALL was an older version. It wasn't zip since I renamed the old zip. Anyway, thanks for your help.

Re: [R] Building an R package under Windows NT
Try to install the package first, via Rcmd INSTALL emme2 as a binary build involves an install and a direct install may be more informative. The message about zip suggests you don't have the right things first in your path, so please read the file readme.packages and cross check. In particular, check that `zip -v' gives Copyright (C) 1990-1999 Info-ZIP Type 'zip -L' for software license. This is Zip 2.3 (November 29th 1999), by Info-ZIP. ... (and that version does have an X argument). On Mon, 2 Jun 2003 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am trying to build a R 1.7 package under Windows NT. I created the DESCRIPTION file, the RD file and added the code to the R folder. I also downloaded and installed the Rtools package and have Perl 5.0. I know that Perl, Miktex, and gcc are working. I also have my PATH variable set correctly. I can fake install my package by removing the *.R from the code file, using Rcmd Rdconv to create the 00index.html file from my Rd file, and copying the package folder to the library folder.

Thus I am not doing something correctly. I was able to install the package via the install from local zip file option in RGui though. But I can't search for any of my functions and the 00Index.html file was not created. Do I need to create 00Index.html with Rdconv? I thought maybe I should use Rcmd build --binary --docs=html emme2 but the --docs=html option is not working for me. The html is less important to me than the make working Given that it is nowhere documented to work, why do you expect it to? Try Rcmd INSTALL --help to see the valid values of TYPE. -- Brian D.
