zlib location

I'm trying to build the 1.4.0 development version of R for Windows.
I'll be posting problems as they arise, until I give up (or succeed),
or someone asks me to stop.

1.  I don't have zlib, the compression library.  The source file
gnuwin32/unzip/WHERE says to get it from
ftp://ftp.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/zlib/zlib.html; that web site says
it has been closed and redirects me to http://www.gzip.org/zlib/.
(The file itself claims to be at
ftp://ftp.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/doc/WHERE, and it is, with the same
stale URL, hence the CC of this message to Zip-bugs.)
The WHERE file was written by the info-zip people, but I couldn't turn
up a newer version.  If there is one and I find it, I'll pass it on.

2.  I get some warnings during the compile; I decided to ignore them.
I missed catching some; some others were:

Rstrptime.h:206: warning: ANSI C forbids braced-groups within
expressions

/usr/lib/bison.simple:285: warning: `yyval' might be used
uninitialized in this

de\oleidl.h:43: warning: ANSI C restricts enumerator values to range
of `int'

3.  And here's the one that has stopped me for tonight:

graphappmain.o(.text+0x121):graphappmain.c: undefined reference to
`_imp__R_rese
rved_size'

Hi, 
you can find pre compiled libraries for most of what you need at:
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/

He also has pointers to sources for all the libs listed there.

Well zlib is not part of info-zip, but the bitmap/INSTALL file says

1) You need libpng, zlib and jpeg sources (available, e.g., from
   www.libpng.org, www.gzip.org/zlib, ftp.uu.net/graphics/[png,jpeg].

and that is current.  The information is also on the portal.

            

      
      
      
    

        
All normal.

            

      
      
      
    

        
Normal: errors in the mingw header files (which I have reported).

            

      
      
      
    

        
You seem to have too old a version of the compiler.  From INSTALL

We recommend that you use a recent snapshot of the mingw port of gcc
from http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/.  For example, at the
time of writing, MinGW-1.1.tar.gz based on gcc-2.95.3.  Just unpack
this somewhere and put its bin directory in your path.

That works for me.

I think the URL has changed.  I found the file at 

 http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/

instead.  I've installed it, and the build is proceeding...

The portal has the current information (it's changed to prdownloads...),
as the docs point you to.

The locations in the R-devel docs are only checked just prior to release:
they change several times during an R release cycle.

Also, AFAIK no one is working on the Windows port at present, so the build
of R-devel is only tested irregularly.  I expect some work will be done on
it once 1.4.0 goes into feature freeze, but can't guarantee even that.
