You could try deleting the @ signs from the lines for that target to see exactly what was happening when the error was generated. Yes I could figure out the source of 'frontmatter', but my problem is, there is no error message. I tried 'make -d' too. I tried removing '@', but no change.

Is there any way to check what could have been wrong in building base package? You could look at whatever command in the makefile failed, and try it outside of the makefile, try variations on it, etc. I can't give more specific advice without more specific information on where the error happened. Thanks, I could get the error after 'make distclean'. The error is -- Making package base adding build stamp to DESCRIPTION Error in loadNamespace(name) : there is no package called 'tools' Execution halted make[4]: *** [frontmatter] Error 1 make[3]: *** [all] Error 2 make[2]: *** [pkg-base] Error 2 make[1]: *** [rpackage] Error 2 make: *** [all] Error 2 Surprisingly once this error come, if I do 'make' or 'make pkg-base', this error doesn't get displayed. I tried including R-bin directory to 'PATH', setting R_HOME, R_LIBS environment variable, but it doesn't help. Do I need to set anyother environment variable to find proper tools directory. My library directory contents are as follows: R-2.3.1 library base DESCRIPTION [file] R all.R [file] base [file] Rprofile [file] tools DESCRIPTION [file] NAMESPACE [file] libs tools.dll [file] R all.R [file] tools [file] R.css [file] If you're not used to working in Windows, remember that it is not like Unix in several ways. In particular, you can't delete an open file, because it's considered an error for a file to exist unless it has a valid directory entry. If you try to replace a file that is open, the replacement will fail, and that may lead to other errors later.

[R] Build error on Windows
Hi, I'm trying to build R-2.3.1 on windows, but make gives me following error while building pkg-base: -- Making package base adding build stamp to DESCRIPTION make[4]: *** [frontmatter] Error 1 make[3]: *** [all] Error 2 make[2]: *** [pkg-base] Error 2 make[1]: *** [rpackage] Error 2 make: *** [all] Error 2 Please note that R.exe, Rterm.exe, Rgui.exe, RCmd.exe are build without any errors. I have three questions, can anyone please help me to resolve it? 1. How to solve (or get more details) of the above mentioned error? 2. When I run Rterm.exe it takes 25-30% CPU time, but doesn't provide me the command prompt, is there anyway to log/trace, to know the issues in Rterm? 3. Despite error mentioned above (Frontmatter) I tried building other packages and was able to build few. But still RGui.exe shows warning saying there is no package called 'datasets', 'utils' etc. Can someone please point me how to resolve this issue? Thanks in advance.
