Hi, On my windows (xp) machine with Rtools29 (excluding cygwin dlls as I have cygwin on my path) -make all recommended- for the latest R-devel tarball (svn revision: 48093) fails when trying to build the recommended packages:
1. Have you asked make rsync-recommended before (i.e. are the packages actually there)? 2. If so, please install the cygwin dlls and try to remove cygwin from your path. The may very well be some version conflicts in I cannot build R / R packages if a full cygwin installation is around. Uwe Ligges
This bit apjaworski last week, but the naughty boy didn't include R-devel in the discussion.... It boils down to problems with symlink handling. You unpack the tar file and the .tgz links look like ordinary files with strange contents to other tools. The workaround is to run make Rpwd.exe make link-recommended (or, maybe, to unpack with a different tar version, but I really don't know).
--- Making recommended packages ----- installing recommended package KernSmooth Warning: invalid package 'KernSmooth.tgz' Error: ERROR: no packages specified make[1]: *** [KernSmooth.ts] Error 1 make: *** [recommended] Error 2 Looking at R_HOME/src/library/Recommended shows that none of the timestamp files .ts are generated(?) in that directory. If I manually create the empty timestamp files, build completes but -make check- failed. I suspect something with my build tools is not right but what could that be? h.
