building zip?

Hello Kurt,

you might consult the following two web-references:

1)
http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/Rtools/

2)
http://www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/~kwan022/pub/R/WinBook/WinBook.pdf

chapter 5, Build R Package. The software you need to have installed is
listed in chapter 4.1.

HTH,
Bernhard

Subject: [R] building zip?


Hello,

I know this might sound stupid, but here's my problem. I try to build
packages, which gives absolutely no problem as long as I do this in
Linux. I get my .tar.gz-package. However, for windows, one needs
.zip-files (I guess), but for one reason or another, this seems not to
work.
I'm sorry about this question, but I'm not a windows-specialist (nor
Linux-guru). I don't see how to make 'zip'-packages in linux and
trying this in Windows ('Rcmd build <package>' at the DOS prompt),
tells me it can't find perl script 'c:\Progra~1\R/bin/build' (or
something like that).


tnx,
Kurt
