Now I use the package.skeleton() function to create a template. I type:
f <- function(x,y) x+y
g <- function(x,y) x-y
d <- data.frame(a=1, b=2)
e <- rnorm(1000)
package.skeleton(list=c("f","g","d","e"), name="example")
in R. I know it will create a folder named "example" in the path of "\R\rw2011\" I opened this folder, its format is similar as other library. Then I modify it "DESCRIPTION" file:
Package: example
Version: 1.0-1

Title: My first function

I don't whether I should modify other "README" file.
When I enter the Dos environment, at first, into the D:\>, I type the following code:
cd Program Files\R\rw2011\
bin\R CMD install /example
Well, there appeared error:

"example" is in the d:\, which include the R folder and "DESCRIPTION" file, But I wrote nothing in the "DESCRIPTION" file. Actually, I don't know what I should write in it.
Read the R Extensions manual for a detailed description. You can use the package.skeleton() function to create a template, but you need to edit it to make it acceptable.
Well, there are still aother error:

That's complaining about your bad DESCRIPTION file. Duncan Murdoch

Dear all,
I have done every step as the previous mail.
1. unpack tools.zip into c:\cygwin
2. install Active perl in c:\Perl
3. install the mingw32 in c:\mingwin
4. add "c:\cygwin; c:\mingwin\bin" in "Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Environment Variables -> Path -> Variable" , and they are in the beginning of the "Path"
^
such blanks are not allowed in the PATH variable
Because I install R in the D drive, so I set a fold "MyRpackages" in the same drive. Into the "MyRpackages" folder I write a R library named "example", include "DESCRIPTION" file and "R" folder. In the "R" folder, the "example" file just content very simple code as the previous mail said.
So in the Dos environment, at first, into the D:\>, I type the following code:
cd Program Files\R\rw2011\
MyRpackages does not need to be here.
bin\R CMD install /MyRpackages/example
The first slash in "/MyRPackages" sugests that this is a top level directory, which does not exist. Even better, cd to MyRpackages, add R's bin dir to your path variable, and simply say: R CMD INSTALL example
Another possibility is to put Rcmd.bat from the batch file collection http://cran.r-project.org/contrib/extra/batchfiles/ in your path. It will use the registry to find R so you won't have to modify your path (nor would you have to remodify it every time you install a new version of R which is what you would otherwise have to do): cd \MyPackages Rcmd install example
Just for the records: 1. "cd \MyPackages" won't work, as I have already explained above.
If MyPackages is not a top level directory in the current drive then it will not work. Otherwise it does work.
2. I do *not* recommend this way, in particular I find it misleading to provide these batch files on CRAN.
The alternative, at least as discussed in your post, is more work since one will then have to change one's path every time one reinstalls R. This is just needless extra work and is error prone. If you forget to do it then you will be accessing the bin directory of the wrong version of R.
There are some error: 'make' is neither internal or external command, nor executable operation or batch file *** installation of example failed ***
Well, make.exe is not find in your path. Please check whether the file exists and the path has been added. Uwe Ligges
Removing 'D:/PROGRA~1/R/rw2011/library/example' I think I have closed to success. heehee~~~~~ Thank you for your help. I still need you and others help.

Dear Gabor,
Thank your for helping me so much!
I have loaded R the newest version 2.1.1. Then I setup it in the path of D:\program files\R\
1. unpack tools.zip into c:\cygwin
2. install Active perl in c:\Perl
3. install the mingw32 in c:\mingwin
4. add "c:\cygwin; c:\mingwin\bin" in "Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Environment Variables -> Path -> Variable" (In your previous mail, you said "put these at the beginning of the path", I don't understand what is your meaning. Which path?)
If in the console you enter the command: path then it will display a semicolon separated list of folders. You want the folder that contains the tools to be at the beginning so that you eliminate the possibility of finding a different program of the same name first in a folder that comes prior to the one where the tools are stored.
5. I tried an library example. I set a new folder named "example" in the "c:\MyRpackages\". And In the "example" folder, it contain an "DESCRIPTION" file and "R" folder. in "R" folder contain a "example" file. I just write very simple script in it: a<-2; b<-3;sum <- sum(a,b); print(paste(a,"+",b,"=",sum)) 6. I opened the DOS environment. Into the "D:\>" Type the following code: cd \Program Files\R\rw2010 But I don't understand the second line you writed in your previous mail: "bin\R cmd install /MyRPackages/example"
I was assuming that MyRPackages and R are on the same disk. If they are not then you need to specify the disk too. That is if MyRPackages is on C and R is installed on D then install your package via: d: cd \Program Files\R\rw2010 bin\R CMD install c:/MyRPackages/example Note that bin\R means to run R.exe in the bin subfolder of the current folder using command script install and the indicated source package.
I am not sure that I set up R in "D:\" But I do so much action in C:\ Did I do the correct action? Did I do the action into the correct path?
If you are not sure where R is installed then enter the following at the Windows console prompt to find out (this will work provided you let it install the key into the registry when you installed R initially). The reg command is a command built into Windows (I used XP but I assume its the same on other versions) that will query the Windows registry: reg query hklm\software\r-core\r /v InstallPath
I still need your and others help.

Hello everybody,
Could I consult you a question?
I always use R old version 1.9.1 . Because I can not add my library into the new version 2.0.0 by the same method as old version.
Getting the latest version of R is strongly recommended. The suggestions below all assume the latest version and may or may not work if you do not upgrade.
* I have read the webpage <http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/Rtools> * Download the tools.zip * Unpack tools.zip into c:\cygwin * Install Active Perl in c:\Perl * Install the mingw32 port of gcc in c:\mingwin * Then go to "Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Environment Variables -> Path -> Variable Balue" add ;c:\cygwin;c:\mingwin\bin
You may need to put these at the beginning of the path rather than the end. Also just as a check enter path at the console to make sure that you have them. You will likely have to start a new console session and possibly even reboot. Also you need the Microsoft Help Compiler, hhc. Suggest you reread the material on which tools you need.
* Save my library "example" into "c:\MyRpackages\" . But I am not sure what type it is, is it need suffix?" And I don't what its content, just my function script, no special format?
In MyRPackages you would have a folder called example, in your case, that contains the package. Within folder example, you would have the DESCRIPTION file, the R folder, etc.
* Then I don't know where should I do this step: Type R CMD INSTALL --build example. Need I run R first?
You don't have to run R first. You do need to make sure that R.exe can be found on your path or else use the absolute path name in referring to R. For example, if your path does not include R you could do something like this: cd \Program Files\R\rw2010 bin\R cmd install /MyRPackages/example
Sorry, there is an error in the above. It should be: bin\R CMD install c:/MyRPackages/example or bin\Rcmd install c:/MyRPackages/example
Be sure to use forward slashes where shown above and backslashes where shown.
So There is a error after I do this step. It said it can not find somethig. I don't which step is wrong. It costed me much time.
Try all these suggestions including upgrading R and if that does not work try posting screen dumps of the actual errors you are getting.
Also try googling for making creating R packages and you will find some privately written tutorials on all this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------
