i managed to build r-devel 1.5.0 on win2k during the build, i experienced the following problems: 1. Failure in make when starting from scratch make in src/gnuwin fails at the first run because it tries to use Rpwd.exe. It does, however, create Rpwd.exe before it fails. Copying Rpwd.exe to a directory on the path the allows a complete pass through make.
On all my machines its makes Rpwd.exe, and then spawns a separate make which proceeds. It should not fail.
3. Warning when building docs D:\Work\R-devel\doc\manual>make -f Makefile.win info makeinfo -D UseExternalXrefs R-FAQ.texi makeinfo -D UseExternalXrefs R-admin.texi makeinfo -D UseExternalXrefs R-data.texi makeinfo -D UseExternalXrefs R-exts.texi makeinfo -D UseExternalXrefs R-intro.texi R-intro.texi:781: warning: Info cannot handle `:' in index entry `:'. makeinfo -D UseExternalXrefs R-lang.texi
That's an incorrect warning from makeinfo 4.1.
4. after installation: Help -> R language (html) starts mozilla 0.9.9 (which is the default browser on this machine), but when i go to the search page and enter a search term, the browser does NOT jump to any other page, it stays on the search page.
That has worked for me, but I took that browser off as it was too flaky.
p.s.: gnuwin32/INSTALL tells one to send messages to R-windows@r-project.org but mail sent there bounces
Well, it may work by release time. The request to set up the address has been made.
