Building package using RTools in OS X

Hi List,
I am trying to build an R package using RTools.  Does it exist for OS X?
  Is there a something equivalent we could use?  What does everyone use?

Seems like there are a lot of instructions available for Windows but not
for OS X.

Simon gives instructions on his website <http://r.research.att.com/>.   
You'll probably have to download the compiler suite, but you don't need 
everything else that's in Rtools, because OSX already has Unix tools.

Xcode and friends will give you msot everything you need:

Though you might need to get gfortran from Simon's r.research.att.com site.

I see, I went over to the site and installed gfortran.
What is the compiler suite you are referring to on that website?
R2.15-Branch?  Maybe could you give me an example how you would do all this?
Thanks,
Mike

Compiler suite = Xcode. (Available on your install DVD or on newer
versions of OS X via the app store I believe)

R2.15-Branch = R

;-)

Simon's site has a copy-paste script to build R; not too much more we
can add to that.

Cheers,
Michael
