Well, I'm finally getting around to setting up a cross-compiler for Windows on my local Linux box. I'm using the Yan & Rossini's docuimentation and the latest 'http://cran.r-project.org/doc/contrib/Makefile-rcb' , which is working of the R-2.2.0 sources. After discovering that "cp -p" doesn't work on the filesystem I'm using and removing the '-p's in the R makefiles using perl, I've gotten things to run pretty far through. Unfortunately, I get stopped by this error when building the base packages: writing help indices for package: base tools utils grDevices graphics stats datasets methods grid splines stats4 tcltk ---------- Making package base ------------ adding build stamp to DESCRIPTION installing inst files installing indices Error in get(x, envir, mode, inherits) : variable "win.packages.html" was not found Execution halted Any ideas? -Greg Gregory R.

I've seen that error before. It has to do with the setup of R_EXE. A current linux R is required. The following order worked for me: make linuxR make LinuxFresh=YES mkrules make R Jun
