[Rd] Rtools (Windows XP): what dir is meant by R source directory?
Dear list, thanks for providing such a great thing as the Rtools! Everytime I install it, though, I'm somewhat puzzled when it comes to the section Select R Source Home Directory (32 bit and 64 builds). Is the folder that I need to specify here a) simply the root folder of my R installation (e.g. C:/R/R-2.13.0), b) a subfolder of the above R installation folder (e.g. C:/R/R-2.13.0/src, C:/R/R-2-13.0/bin/src or C:/R/R-2-13.0/bin/i386/src), c) or does this just come into play when I try to build R from source, i.e. the folder where I would put the R tar.gz file? I always choose the paths C:\R\R-2.13.0\bin\i386\src (32 bit) and C:\R\R-2.13.0\bin\src (64 bit). Would this be okay? Thanks a lot for helping me out on this, Janko __ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel

Yes, c) is the answer. Uwe I always choose the paths C:\R\R-2.13.0\bin\i386\src (32 bit) and C:\R\R-2.13.0\bin\src (64 bit). Would this be okay?
