Re: [Rd] Building a custom Windows installer
John, It is not clear to me what you actually did (and I am also assuming this is 32-bit R), but I surmise that you did not build R in your source directory. One of the first steps in doing so is to make src/gnuwin32/MkRules. (You are also likely to need to customize the file, possibly via a MkRules.local, to set ISDIR.) I've done a quick check, and in R 2.11.x AFAICS all that is needed is cd R_SOURCES/src/gnuwin32 make MkRules cd installer make myR IMAGEDIR=e:/temp/R-2.11.1 MDISDI=1 However, in 2.12.0 you will need to make R completely in the sources, as R is used for scripting.

Dear Brian, -Original Message- From: Prof Brian Ripley [mailto:rip...@stats.ox.ac.uk] Sent: July-14-10 3:15 AM To: John Fox Cc: r-devel@r-project.org Subject: Re: [Rd] Building a custom Windows installer John, It is not clear to me what you actually did (and I am also assuming this is 32-bit R), but I surmise that you did not build R in your source directory. Yes, that's right. It wasn't clear to me from the manual that it was necessary to build R (or as it turns out, just MkRules) when using IMAGEDIR. I guess that this has changed since I last built a custom installer, or my notes were incomplete. One of the first steps in doing so is to make src/gnuwin32/MkRules. (You are also likely to need to customize the file, possibly via a MkRules.local, to set ISDIR.) Not necessary in my case, since Inno Setup is in the default location. I've done a quick check, and in R 2.11.x AFAICS all that is needed is cd R_SOURCES/src/gnuwin32 make MkRules cd installer make myR IMAGEDIR=e:/temp/R-2.11.1 MDISDI=1 Yes, this works fine for me as well. Thank you very much. John However, in 2.12.0 you will need to make R completely in the sources, as R is used for scripting.
