Autoconf / Windows package building problem for device package

Simon,

Now, pdf2 does not use "manually created config.h",

but create own config.h by itself.
The package also does not refer internal headers installed with R.

 However, the package needs internal headers, because original pdf  
device code needs them.

Therefore, It has local copies of the headers.
Your suggestion is quite proper, and this is still bad implementation.
But, to catch up the development of pdf device in the R core, my  
approach is pragmatic. I'll release version-specific packages by  
using internal headers of each R versions. If the package checks R  
version strictly, this approach should be not so dangerous, because  
almost all code of pdf2 is from original pdf device code.
(I know I have to use pdf device code and headers from R 2.7.1 now)

Tadashi Kadowaki

Tobias,

that package uses headers internal to R (a really bad thing to do).  
Although
it attempts to supply them (very dangerous again since they are
R-version-dependent) they rely on configured R sources which are  
not present
on Windows. I don't have a Windows machine handy, but I dimly  
remember that
you can find manually created config.h for Windows in fixed-h  
directory
under gnuwin32. It's a hack (and I'm not sure if it helps), though,  
so I'd
strongly suggest Tadashi to fix his package to use official API as  
was
suggested a few times already.

Cheers,
Simon

Dear list,

Tadashi Kadowaki has developed a pdf device package
that allows to add hyperlinks and popups
to (currently) text, mtext and rect calls.

The package passes R CMD check (minor warnings) and compiles
on MacOS X and GNU/Linux, but we do not succeed in building
the package for Windows.

The current version of the package can be
checked out as

svn checkout svn://svn.r-forge.r-project.org/svnroot/pdf2/trunk

Please find the 00install.out below.

Could anyone tell why config.h is not found?

My practical experience with the GNU build
tools is very limited but I would have hoped
config.h.in would be processed into config.h.

Any pointer or hint will be appreciated.

Many thanks in advance,
Tobias

P.S. 00install.out (using R 2.7.1 and a current Rtools28.exe):
