[Rcpp-devel] RInside makefile on Windows

I tried cmd.exe and the Msys shell. 

Even if I hardcode each line, such as: 
RCPPFLAGS := 		C:/Program Files/R/R-2.12.2/bin/R CMD config
--cppflags
or
RCPPFLAGS := 		C:/ PROGRA~1/R/R-2.12.2/bin/R CMD config --cppflags
or
with $(...) included on each, the same errors still occur with "/bin/R" not
found

Thanks. 
Nate

| Hi Dirk, thanks for the response. 
| 
| I still have troubles after declaring R_HOME correctly:  
| 
| R_HOME := C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-2.12.2
| 
| Here is output: 
| 
| make: /bin/R: Command not found
| make: /bin/R: Command not found
| make: /bin/R: Command not found
| make: /bin/R: Command not found
| /bin/R: not found
| /bin/R: not found
| /bin/R: not found
| /bin/R: not found
| make: /bin/R: Command not found
| make: /bin/R: Command not found
| make: /bin/R: Command not found
| make: /bin/R: Command not found
| make: Nothing to be done for `all'.
| 
| I also tried it with "Program Files" spelled out. Just to be sure, I 
| checked and "C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-2.12.2/bin/R" does exist, the full path 
| to the R application (sans extension).
| 
| Has anyone had an operating Windows RInside/Rcpp with earlier versions?
| Regarding debugging, I'm not sure if I currently have the capability 
| to help. In the long term, it might be possible.

I wrote that Makefile on Windows XP (32 bit) and used it.

Something is wrong with the character expansion over there. R_RHOME is set,
yet the path gets constructed as just /bin/R when it should be 

    C:/Progra~1/R/R-2.12.2/bin/R

That may be a shell difference. I tend to this in an MSys shell, but then
that sometimes caused issues too so I may have used cmd.exe. 

Are you using cmd.exe by chance?  

I don't have access to the Windows computer on which I did all that so can't
help right now.   If you want to use bruter force, just use an editor with
search and replace and put the constant string there.

Dirk

| Hi Nathan,
|

| | Hello,
| | 
| |  
| | 
| | I have installed Rcpp, RInside, Rtools and other dependencies 
| | according to the instructions given on the Rcpp and RInside websites.
| | 
| |  
| | 
| | Presently, I am having issues with the makefile provided in the 
| | RInside examples. I must confess that my experience with makefiles 
| | is minimal. Upon reviewing the web and this mailing list, I now come 
| | to bow before the coding gods to ask your advice.
| | 
| |  
| | 
| | In the examples directory, here is the output from ?make -f 
| | Makefile.win? in the command prompt (I receive the same when run in 
| | a
| NetBeans project):
| | 
| | ARGUMENT 'c:/PROGRA~1/R/R-2.12.2' __ignored__
| | 
| | Fatal error: you must specify '--save', '--no-save' or '--vanilla'
| | 
| | make: /bin/R: Command not found
| 
| You don't have RHOME defined:
| 
| ## comment this out if you need a different version of R, ## and set 
| set R_HOME accordingly as an environment variable
| #R_HOME := 		$(shell R RHOME)
| 
| You could hardcode it to be, say.
| 
|     R_HOME :=  C:/R-2.12.2/
| 
| or whatever your value is.  The try 'make -f Makefile.win' again.
| 
| It should build ... and will then most likely segfault on start.  We 
| really need someone with a desire to have this working on Windows to 
| contribute some debugging help.  Neither Romain nor I care 
| sufficiently enough about Windows, working primarily on OS X and Linux,
respectively.

| | 
| | ...
| | 
| |  
| | 
| | In Makefile.win, the only line I have changed is:
| | 
| | R_HOME :=                         $(shell R c:/PROGRA~1/R/R-2.12.2)
| | 
| |  
| | 
| | Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.
