Subject: issue building my own package... moving from Apple OS to Windows
In-Reply-To: <48A23940.40508@u.washington.edu>
Hello,
I have written my own very simple package. On an Apple, I was able to
run through the "R CMD build" and "R CMD check" successfully. I have
also installed the package, and successfully loaded the library on my Apple.
This package is written entirely in R and requires no compilation.
I am trying to move the package to a Windows machine.
I (perhaps naively) thought, given that it contains no code requiring
compilation, that I should just be able to take the .tar.gz file and
directly install it in Windows. This didn't work. Nor did
"translating' the contents of the .tar.gz file into a .zip file.
I was about to provide the errors, but more googling on this issue
suggests that maybe what I'm trying to do is impossible.
Do I really have to "build" on a Windows box ... even when the package
requires no compilation? Is there no simple translation tool available
for this case?
thank you, Daryl
