R-1.5.0: compiling package foreign on WinNT failed
My best guess is that you don't have `.' in your path. That is a new instruction for 1.5.0 (see the INSTALL file). People building this themselves need to be aware that lots of packages need to be rebuilt for rw1050. I will not update CRAN contrib area until binaries are released: until then see the rw1050 directory. Even then, update.packages() will not pull rebuilt versions, only updated packages.

Dear R-help, I was able to build R-1.5.0 on WinNT w/o problem (actually it seems easier than previous version). However, I encountered problem when trying to compile the recommended package foreign: make: Entering directory `/cygdrive/g/rbuild/R-1.5.0/src/gnuwin32' make DLLNM= FLIBS="-lg2c -lRblas" BUILD=MINGW \ -C G:/Rbuild/R-1.5.0-recommended/R.INSTALL/foreign PKG=foreign RHOME=g:/rbuild /R-1.5.0 RLIB=g:/rbuild/R-1.5.0/library \ -f g:/rbuild/R-1.5.0/src/gnuwin32/MakePkg make[1]: Entering directory `/cygdrive/g/Rbuild/R-1.5.0-recommended/R.INSTALL/fo reign' ---------- Making package foreign ------------ configure.win: not found make[1]: *** [g:/rbuild/R-1.5.0/library/foreign/zzzz] Error 127 make[1]: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/g/Rbuild/R-1.5.0-recommended/R.INSTALL/for eign' make: *** [pkg-foreign] Error 2 make: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/g/rbuild/R-1.5.0/src/gnuwin32' *** Installation of foreign failed *** Does anyone have any idea what's wrong? configure.win is there, and all it does is copying two files in src from .h.in to .h.
