That will create a *.tar.gz file, not a *.zip file. The latter being
what Erin wanted, if I understand correctly.
I have worked around the problem in the past with a shell script
like unto:
#! /bin/csh
set vnum = `grep Version $pkge/DESCRIPTION | sed -e 's/Version: //'`
R CMD INSTALL -l Lib $pkge >& /dev/null
cd Lib
zip -r -l $pkge.zip $pkge >& /dev/null
mv $pkge.zip ../$pkge"_"$vnum.zip
In the foregoing "pkge" is the name of the package you are trying to
build. You will have to have created the "holding library" "Lib" a priori.
There are doubtless (much) better ways of accomplishing this task, but I
don't know them.
cheers,
Rolf

Hello yet again.
I am trying to create a zip file for a friend who has a Windows
machine.
He needs to access this via the "local zip file" packages option.
When I use R CMD INSTALL --compile-both, it produces an item in the
library
tree (as promised).
However, I would like to have an actual .zip file.
I do know at one time that was possible, not sure if I can still do it.
I did try R CMD INSTALL --force-biarch as well, same result as compile
both.
thank you for any suggestions.
Sincerely,
Erin
