Problem with WARNING...headers with CRLF line endings

Dear Bill, It would be great if this warning message could at least be suppressed on Windows.
I think you're missing the point - you should be fixing that file instead - it doesn't matter whether you're on Windows or not. If the file is created automatically then it has no business being in the package. Otherwise you should simply post-process it (e.g., as Dirk suggested) after it has been generated but before you create the package - that is the common practice with generated files that need to be part of the distribution. Cheers, Simon

WARNING Found the following sources/headers with CR or CRLF line endings: src/xpsDict.h" The problem is that this file is created by the compiler AUTOMATICALLY during the compilation process, and since the file is created by VC++ on WinXP, it will always have CRLF line endings. Thus my question is: - Is it really necessary to issues this warning message? - If yes, could it be suppressed on Windows XP, since there it should obviously be no problem.
Older versions of Sun C compilers would refuse to compile code with Windows-style line endings. I don't know if that is still the case. One reason to run check is to see if there are any platform-dependencies in code on CRAN so the warning should not be suppressed. (The S+ package system tries to avoid the problem by changing line endings on text files when it compiles the package. It is not trivial to reliably figure out which files are meant to be text files.) Bill Dunlap Spotfire, TIBCO Software wdunlap tibco.com
One more issue: While I have always received this warning on my WinXP installation, for some lucky reason the warning did until now not appear on the Bioconductor Windows server, see BioC 2.6 with R-2.11.1: http://bioconductor.org/checkResults/2.6/bioc-LATEST/xps/liver
pool-checksrc.html
However, for some reason on BioC 2.7 running R-2.12.0 this warning does appear, see: http://bioconductor.org/checkResults/2.7/bioc-LATEST/xps/liver
pool-checksrc.html
For this reason I would appreciate if there would be a possibility to suppress this warning message. Thank you in advance.
