Dear All: I encountered and apparently overcame problems following Yan and Rossiniâs procedure for "Building Microsoft Windows Versions of R and R packages under Intel Linux" (http://cran.r-project.org/doc/contrib/cross-build.pdf): I have successfully cross-compiled R packages for Windows on a FreeBSD 4.10 i386 system.
My revisions to Makefile-rcb (http://cran.r- project.org/doc/contrib/Makefile-rcb ) follow here: 1. created makevar MAKE initialized to gmake. Replaced all direct references to make with $(MAKE). 2. updated makevar MINGW_CROSS = mingw-cross4 to point to http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/Rtools/mingw-cross4.tar.bz2 , replacing original reference to mingw-cross2. 3. updated MkRules HEADER=$(CROSSDIR)/i586-mingw32/include , replacing original reference to <snip>/mingw32/include. 4. reset LinuxFresh = YES Yan and Rossini imply that linuxR: is an optional step if R is already installed. I ran afoul of steps in $(WINR)/<snip>/gnuwin32/MakePkg referencing symbols in the tools package in the system's version of R. Happily, these ran successfully against $(LINUXR)/R/bin/R. I hope some of this turns useful to others attempting this.
