Re: [R-pkg-devel] Unable to create manual
Hello Ivan. The Does list.files(pattern = 'utils|Rout\\.fail') gave me something like an empty string. So after getting some in-person help on this issue, the key to resolving this error was explicitly defining the environmental variables in the console as: set PDFLATEX=C:\Users\edmon\AppData\Local\Programs\MiKTeX\miktex\bin\x64\pdflatex set MAKEINDEX=C:\Users\edmon\AppData\Local\Programs\MiKTeX\miktex\bin\x64\makeindex The makeindex was a package I was apparently missing for MikTex and I had to download it as part of generating the manual. I would have to set up the environmental variables every time that R got started in order for the R CMD check to run smoothly.

Re: [R-pkg-devel] Unable to create manual
So I am looking at the R Installation and Administration section,
specifically section 3 for windows. . I have some inquiries.
1. Where do I run "make check"?
2. I got this when I was running the make check:
C:\Users\edmon\Documents\R\RFIN> R CMD make check
make: *** No rule to make target 'check'. Stop.
I'm guessing I'm running it incorrectly.
3. I get this back when I run the "tools::testInstalledPackages(scope =
"base")" on my RGUI.
Error: testing 'utils' failed
Where may I find the error log for this?
Best regards,

Re: [R-pkg-devel] Unable to create manual
My next steps in debugging this is:
1. make sure my latex CAN generate PDFs by editing .tex file
2. Run pdflatex as an Admin
3. Download "texinfo" externally (unable to do in R studio as it says it is
incompatible with this version of R)
4. Inspect Rd files
I have made no real progress on this bug...
What is interesting is that previously, before I changed my code for
feedback from manual review, this didn't happen.
