Hi all, I'm new to R and am trying to create a dll in order to be able to use the "dyn.load" function with a fortran script. I have a windows OS, have installed perl and the Path is recognized. I have also installed R 1.70 including the src (source code) folder.. But when I attempt to create the dll by excecuting "Rcmd SHLIB [-o autologdll] combo.f", in the windows command prompt, I get the following error message "'make' is not recognized as an internal or external command" Does anyone have some suggestions on what I may have missed? Thanx a ton! Mark
Sounds like you did not download and install Prof. Ripley's Tools package or if you did, the PATH environment variable is not set properly. If you did not download the Tools package, go here: http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/Rtools/ and download the Unix tools ZIP file in the Essentials section and read the remainder of the page, which provides further guidance. If you did download and extract that package, be sure to edit the PATH to reflect the location of those files. BTW, don't forget to update to R 1.7.1, which is now released and available on CRAN.
