Cross-compiling R packages

Hi,

I tried to use the 'make' file discussed in the last R-news.

The step 'make R' dies with:
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/laurent/these/R/RCrossBuild/WinR/R-1.7.1/src/gnuwin32'
sed -e s/@RVER@/`cut -d' ' -f1 ../../VERSION | sed -n 1p`/g -e s/@RWVER@/rw1071/g rw-FAQ.texi | \
  makeinfo --no-headers --number-sections -o rw-FAQ
makeinfo --no-split --html --no-headers --number-sections -o tmp.html tmp.texi
tidy tmp.html > tmp2.html 2> /dev/null
make[2]: [fixed/html/rw-FAQ.html] Error 127 (ignored)
*** tidy appears to be non-functional ***
make[2]: *** [fixed/html/rw-FAQ.html] Error 111
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/laurent/these/R/RCrossBuild/WinR/R-1.7.1/src/gnuwin32'
make[1]: *** [docfiles] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/laurent/these/R/RCrossBuild/WinR/R-1.7.1/src/gnuwin32'


Any hint ?



Thanks,



L..

Well, you are missing `tidy', from http://tidy.sourceforge.net/, as 
mentioned in the src/gnuwin32/INSTALL file.

I don't see what the `make' file in the last R-news has to do with this: 
all the support for cross-compiling R is in the base R distribution.
Credit where credit is due!
