Re: [Rd] (PR#11484) On WinXP, R CMD config needs sh (and breaks without it)

2008/5/19 Prof Brian Ripley [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
 Where is the bug here?  It also does on a Unix-alike.

Then R CMD config --help could at least spit out an error stating
what should be installed
(rather than die with an execution error straight from the DOS).

Setting an sh in the %Path% (sh coming from cygwin) does not seem to
lead to something working
under winXP (various error messages).


 Anything involving R CMD potentially needs the Rtools set in the path.

I guess that I have been lucky with the potential aspect of the
requirements so far.
Is there a documentation of what is needed by the respective R CMD flavors ?


 R CMD config is primarily intended to be used in configure scripts in
 packages.

Note that if you place Rcmd.bat andor R.bat from
  http://batchfiles.googlecode.com
anywhere in your path and install the latest rtools from
  http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/
then you don't have to change your PATH.
