You will need a src/Makevars.win to get a .cu file to compile. It is
not a known extension: see §1.1.4 of 'Writing R Extensions'
Most likely you need something like
cudasize.dll:
nvcc -m32 --shared -o $@ cuda4.cu
in Makevars.win.
Also, heed the advice about trying R CMD INSTALL before R CMD check.

Now let's try again. I set up the CYGWIN environment command as kindly
suggested by Prof. Ripley.
Here are my next steps:

See 'c:/PROGRA~1/R/R-3.0.1/bin/i386/cudasize.Rcheck/00install.out' for details.
And the 00install.out file is:
* installing *source* package 'cudasize' ...
** libs
*** arch - i386
ERROR: compilation failed for package 'cudasize'
* removing 'c:/PROGRA~1/R/R-3.0.1/bin/i386/cudasize.Rcheck/cudasize'
So it doesn't seem that CUDA is working here. However, if I compile cuda4.cu
from the command line, it works fine, as seen here:
nvcc -m32 --shared -o cuda4.dll cuda4.cu
nvcc -m32 --shared -o cuda4.dll cuda4.cu
cuda4.cu
tmpxft_000013d4_00000000-5_cuda4.cudafe1.gpu
tmpxft_000013d4_00000000-10_cuda4.cudafe2.gpu
cuda4.cu
tmpxft_000013d4_00000000-5_cuda4.cudafe1.cpp
tmpxft_000013d4_00000000-15_cuda4.ii
So that is my situation.
This is Windows 7, R version 3.0.1
Thanks,
Erin

Dear R development:
I'm not sure if this is the appropriate list, but it's a start.
I would like to put together a package which contains a CUDA program on Windows
7. I believe that it has to do with the Makeconf file in the etc directory.
That message is just that you have not set up Rtools fully. As it says,
set CYGWIN=nodosfilewarning in your environment. See §D.3 in the
R-admin manual, e.g.
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-admin.html#The-command-line-tools
.
We can see nothing from what you supplied, as it was not a build in
clean sources.
But when I just use the nvcc with the shared option, I can use the dyn.load
command, but when I use the is.loaded function, it shows FALSE.
Here are the results of the check command:

I've been experimenting with the Makeconf file, but to no avail.
Does anyone have any suggestions, please?
Thanks,
Erin
