problem compiling R-1.6.1 on WinNT: pcre

Uwe,

Got it now.  The problem might be the pcre packaging.  When I tried to
download it, the site at UK was unavailable, so I grabbed pcre-3.9-src.zip
from sourceforge instead.  Apparently that's at least packaged a bit
differently from pcre-3.9.tar.gz at the site mentioned in the INSTALL file.

Maybe the wording about the pcre source in the INSTALL file could be a bit
more stringent?

Cheers,
Andy

Dear R-help,

(This is the first time I tried compiling 1.6.x from source on WinNT4, so
please bear with me...)

I tried following the instruction in src/gnuwin32/INSTALL as closely as I
could, but encounter the following errors at the make step.  Can some kind
soul please help?  I'm using pcre-3.9 and MinGW-2.0.0-3.  I checked and
libRpcre.a _is_ in src/extra/pcre.

TIA,
Andy

Works for me (R-1.6.1, pcre 3.9, Mingw 2.0.0-3, WinNT 4.0): 
Complete build of R, its (recommended) packages, the installer, as well
as a successful 'make fullcheck'.

You have to follow the instructions in INSTALL *_exactly_* (e.g.
collecting _all_ the tools, setting _all_ the paths in the _right
order_, ...).

Hint: Read each line carefully and mark it as "done", if the
instructions are fullfilled exactly.
There will be at least one line (I guess) you cannot mark.
