[Rd] Building R on Windows 7 -- No rule to make target `etc/GETDESC', needed by `fixetc'.

Hi all, I have been experiencing difficulties building R (be this 2.13.1, beta, devel, or rc) on Windows 7 64bit. I believe I am following the manual religiously, and don't think I am doing anything differently from the many successful build attempts in the past. Unzipping the tarball works

Re: [Rd] Building R on Windows 7 -- No rule to make target `etc/GETDESC', needed by `fixetc'.

Fine for me with R-2.13.2 RC. No idea where you got the differences from. Perhaps reinstall recent version of the Rtools, check the PATH, make sure this is a clean checkout / directory and try again. Uwe ligges On 23.09.2011 13:46, Johannes Egner wrote: Hi all, I have been experiencing

[Rd] Issue with seek() on gzipped connections in R-devel

Dear all, In R-devel (2011-09-23 r57050), I'm running into a serious problem with seek()ing on connections opened with gzfile(). A warning is generated and the file position does not seek to the requested location. It doesn't seem to occur all the time - I tried to create a small example file to

Re: [Rd] Issue with seek() on gzipped connections in R-devel

Basically seek with zlib is flaky: we've stumbled on several errors. If it worked for you in the past, count yourself lucky. I'd suggest you avoid relying on it in your packages. On Fri, 23 Sep 2011, Jon Clayden wrote: Dear all, In R-devel (2011-09-23 r57050), I'm running into a serious

[Rd] should dir(all=TRUE) return . and ..?

dir(all=TRUE) returns the file names . and .. while dir(recursive=TRUE, all=TRUE, include.dirs=TRUE) does not. I always filter out the . and .. entries and was wondering if anyone would mind if dir(all=TRUE) just omitted them? It might make recursive file operations like cleaning out a directory

Re: [Rd] Issue with seek() on gzipped connections in R-devel

seek() in general is a bad idea IMO if you are writing cross-platform code. ?seek Warning: Use of ‘seek’ on Windows is discouraged. We have found so many errors in the Windows implementation of file positioning that users are advised to use it only at their own risk, and asked

Re: [Rd] Issue with seek() on gzipped connections in R-devel

Thanks for the replies. I take the point, although it does seem like a substantial regression (on non-Windows platforms). I like to keep the external dependencies of my packages minimal, but I will look into the mmap package - thanks, Jeff, for the tip. Aside from that, though, what is the

Re: [Rd] could not find function after import

Duncan I have a related question. I need one function from R.utils. But R.utils depends on R.oo and R.methodsS3. so I made R.util an import and then used importFrom() in the namespace. The package passed the check. However when it came to use the function it had not been loaded? do I need

Re: [Rd] could not find function after import

Thanks duncan. I fixed it by changing to depends and resubmitting my packages. But I changed from depends to imports for a very specific reason. namespace conflicts. There are work arounds for that so its not terminally broken, but IMPORT had the promise of just the elegance I was looking for.
