I have an odd problem in building a package with only R-code in it. I have a package mainly used by myself which I last build under R 1.9.0. The operation system is Win2000 5.00.2195, Service Pack 3 When I do: c:\stat\r\rw2000\bin\Rcmd install --docs=normal --build --library=c:\stat\R\bxc\library c:\stat\R\bxc\library.sources\xx
[moved to R-devel] Works with forward slashes as follows: c:\stat\r\rw2000\bin\Rcmd install --docs=normal --build --library=c:\stat\R\bxc\library c:/stat/R/bxc/library.sources/xx The seems to be related with the more recent threads "Re: [Rd] wishlist: better error message in R CMD check" "[Rd] creating a package without lazy loading" on R-devel. I'll try to debug.
I have a fix in R-patched for this: it seems highly dependent on the version of the tools in use. For rw2000, do avoid - spaces in the path to the package sources - backslashes in the path to the package sources Both were warned against, of course.
