For people like me who mainly use Windows, the package documentation
is rather intimidating. It's not clear which parts of it work and
which don't, or what tools beyond base R I need to build a package
entirely within Windows (or if that is even possible).
A wizard would be helpful, but it's a lot of work for relatively few
people to use. An easier solution would be a short document listing
all the steps necessary to build a package in Windows, including at
least pointers to the document of all the tools that should be
installed first.
This should probably contain two sections: building a package that's
intended to be portable to other systems, and building one that's
going to be packaged in a .zip file for Windows-only use.
If someone wants to volunteer to answer questions when I get stuck,
I'll volunteer to produce the document.
