[R] OT: How to instaill gcc in cygwin?

2005-07-01 Thread Wensui Liu
Dear Listers,

I know it is far off topic. But I do know there must be some people
here who know it very well.

Sorry for bothering others.

Thanks.

Click the 'install now' button at cygwin.org, and when the selection box 
appears in the install process, also select gcc.  There is a _lot_ of stuff
available for cygwin that the default install ignores.

That said, it won't help you for R as you cannot build R under Cygwin. The R
Extensions and R Admin manuals for details -- you'd want MinGW, a cousin of
Cygwin, on the PC.

Hth, Dirk
