building R package on Mac OS: R CMD build yields empty directories
Dear R-sig-mac folks, I recently moved from Windows to Mac and now tried to build my package (bipartite) under Mac. I followed the instructions I found online (http://www.personality-project.org/R/makingpackages.html http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/RMacOSX-FAQ.html http://www.math.yorku.ca/~hkj/Software/macpac.pdf). My problem: although "R CMD build bipartite" works, it produces a nicely packed set of EMPTY directories: cle09:~ dormann$ R CMD build bipartite * checking for file 'bipartite/DESCRIPTION' ... OK * preparing 'bipartite': * checking DESCRIPTION meta-information ... OK * cleaning src * removing junk files * checking for LF line-endings in source and make files * checking for empty or unneeded directories WARNING: directory 'bipartite/data' is empty WARNING: directory 'bipartite/inst/doc' is empty WARNING: directory 'bipartite/man' is empty WARNING: directory 'bipartite/R' is empty WARNING: directory 'bipartite/src' is empty * building 'bipartite_1.12.tar.gz' Could anyone provide me a hint what is going wrong here? Is there any way I can make "R CMD" tell me what it is doing, so that I can see what goes wrong? Many thanks, Carsten Details: My package "bipartite" is positioned in the root (~dormann/bipartite). (Since R CMD build finds it and makes a nice, if empty, package, this seems to be correct, too.) Everything in this package builds perfectly under Windows. Mac OS X 10.6.3 R 2.11.0 Xcode updated today I installed all "tools": gfortran-4.2.3.dmgm gcc-42.5531-darwin8.tar.gz Instead of MacTeX I have BasicTeX (which works alright with TeXShop, so I assume it also to work alright with R)
