R Compilation gets stuck on Windows 64

Hi Avraham,

I tried with the patched version. The same error message.

gcc -std=gnu99 -m64 -shared -s -mwindows -o R.dll R.def console.o dynload.o

Would it be possible for you to share your MkRules.local and Makefile.win
files?

Also as per your website, we don't need the line:

*TCL_VERSION = 86 *

in the file *Makeconf *inside *R_HOME/src/gnuwin32/fixed/etc*. Hence I am
commenting it. Also I noticed, just above this line (line 60), the
following line which specifies Rgraphapp:

*GRAPHAPP_LIB = -lRgraphapp*
# TCL_VERSION = 86
# was a reference to Rzlib.dll in R < 3.2.0
ZLIB_LIBS = -lz


This looks like the step which is causing the error. Anything I can try out
at this point?

I suggest that you work off the build process in the  rwinlib repository

you are starting from something that you know works and already

the set of dependencies you need.

Hello, Kenny.

For what it's worth I've been successfully building R+OpenBLAS on
Windows64 since 2013, which I believe predates rwinlib on github, but
I may be mistaken. Thus, I don't think I'm incorrect in saying that
the instructions I provide are also "something that you know works" :)
I did make the explicit assumption that people will successfully
follow the instructions at R Installation & Administration. Perhaps
that is too much to ask.

Thanks,

Avi
