Building R Packages

Thanx to all who responded to my plea for help.  You were right, I did not
have the Path environment set properly for the tools package.  I get  a
little further now, but still get an error message.

My Cmd Window looks like this:
    Rcmd SHLIB combo.f
    ar cr combo.a *.o
    ranlib combo.a
    gcc --shared -s -o combo.dll combo.def
omo.a  -LC:/PROGRA~1/R/rw1070/src/gnuwin32  -lg2c -lR
    Warning: .drectve '%.*s' unrecognized
    Warning: .drectve '%.*s' unrecognized
    Warning: .drectve '%.*s' unrecognized
    Warning: .drectve '%.*s' unrecognized
    Warning: .drectve '%.*s' unrecognized
    Warning: .drectve '%.*s' unrecognized
    Warning: .drectve '%.*s' unrecognized

I've read through the readme.packages text and have applied everything that
I think applies to my situation, except for that R is installed in "Program
Files".  I will move it to a dir with ni spaces next.

Any other suggestions?

Mark

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!

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.

HTH,
