[Rcpp-devel] Windows gcc 4.9.2 toolchain

2015-03-18 Thread Duncan Murdoch
To Windows Rcpp users: I'm now back online, and looking for test cases for the new gcc 4.9.2 toolchain. I'll be posting them to a page that's currently on CRAN at bin/windows/Rtools/scripts. R 3.2.0 will not use this toolchain, it will use the old one. Rtools33 no longer has the new toolchain,

Duncan (and everybody else working on it behind the curtains), Thanks for the update. All the work is truly appreciated, and it is really too bad that we turned to C++ testing so late in the process. But ensuring release quality is paramount, so withholding g++ 4.9.* on Windows til these issues

To anyone following the Windows toolchain saga: The gcc 4.9.2 toolchain that is currently in Rtools33 has too many incompatibilities with existing code, so we won't be using it in the R 3.2.0 build. I will soon be uploading to CRAN a new version of Rtools33 that is very similar to Rtools32, c

Hello Dirk, hello Martyn, thank you both for your quick and helpfull response. Yesterday i recognized that i did not use r-patched so i invested a couple of hours to get r-patched up and running under Solaris (i'm not very familar with Unix-alike operating systems so it took me a while). Sadly,
