Hi, I am building 2.1.0 (re-release version, if that matters) on a Windows XP machine. Following the instructions 3.1 "Building from source" in R-admin.html, I managed to get up to 3.1.6. But when I try to build the recommended packages, I get C:\hiro\codes\proj\R-2.1.0\src\gnuwin32>make recommended --- Unpacking recommended packages ---- VR make[1]: *** No rule to make target `../library/boot/DESCRIPTION'. Stop. make: *** [unpack-recommended] Error 1 What did I do wrong? In /library/Recommended I do see boot_1.2-22.tar.gz but I don't see the /boot subdirectory in /library. Thanks for any help, h. ---------------------------------- Hiroyuki Kawakatsu School of Management and Economics 25 University Square Queen's University, Belfast Belfast BT7 1NN Northern Ireland United Kingdom Tel +44 (0)28 9097 3290 Fax +44 (0)28 9033 5156

Did you put the tar.gz file in the right place? It should be in src/library/Recommended, which is where "make rsync-recommended" should put it, not library/Recommended, which won't exist in a correct build. Duncan Murdoch

Maybe you forgot to unpack with the correct tools? tar xfz R-2.1.0.tar.gz should do the trick using tar from the tools provided un Duncan Murdoch's page, but many other (un)compress tools under Windows cannot deal with the links (e.g. boot.tgz) provided in the Recommended packages' subdirectory.

Arggggg. Uwe is of course right. Looking at the Recommended packages directory, I did notice that some of the links had different icons from the other link files. I must have unpacked it with cygwin, not with Duncan's tools as instructed in R-admin. After redoing the unpacking, everything went fine. Many thanks for spotting my stupidity, h. ---------------------------------- Hiroyuki Kawakatsu School of Management and Economics 25 University Square Queen's University, Belfast Belfast BT7 1NN Northern Ireland United Kingdom Tel +44 (0)28 9097 3290 Fax +44 (0)28 9033 5156
