Cross-compilers versus windows compilers (was optimal win dows R machine)
I found it to be a minor hassle to set up the cross-compilers but not too bad at all. Following Brian Ripley's directions and hacking around with scripts I managed to get things going. If you run into trouble I could probably help you. Ben

Good morning, May I ask a naive follow up to this? Having now been granted limited rights to use R-windows on a work PC, I wish to set up my home PC to support compiling packages and so on. I currently have a working Linux set-up at home, is there any general advice as to whether it would be better to add in the cross-compilers there or is it better to persuade my home PC to dual boot windows and set up the full recommended windows compilation collection. Thanks for any pointers Paul

it
actually comes with the compilers needed to build R and do further code development. Compared with doing it on Linux, compiling R from source on Windows is not exactly a pleasure, even with the tremendous work to make it
even possible by Ripley and Mararrato. Cheers, Andy
