[R] The ttest.c example in R under MS Windows

[Lennart.Borgman@astrazeneca.com]

Thank you Andy, and thank you to all others who responded. 

I downloaded the tools and the compiler (though I used MSYS from the MINGW
site, which seems to have the desired tools). From the bash shell that comes
with MSYS I ran the commands in readme.packages:

    $ cd R_HOME/src/gnuwin32
    $ make libR.a libRblas.a

They seemed to work fine. Then I believe I am missing something crucial. I
found a directory windlgs in the C:\Program Files\R\rw1081\src\library
directory. So I cd-ed to this and tried to run the install command (again
from the bash shell where the tools are in the path):

    $ rcmd install windlgs

    make: *** No rule to make target `Files/R/rw1081/src/library'.  Stop.
    *** Installation of windlgs failed ***

What is missing here?

- Lennart

Works just fine for me with the recommended compilers and tools.  Here's a
transcript of the build:

c:\tools\R-1.8.1\src\gnuwin32>Rcmd install windlgs

And here's the test:
> library(windlgs)
To remove the Statistics menu use del.ttest()
> x <- runif(10)
> y <- runif(20)
[click on `Statistics' from the menu, choose `ttest:1' and fill in.]
> menu.ttest()

        Welch Two Sample t-test

data:  x and y 
t = 2.1473, df = 22.03, p-value = 0.04303
alternative hypothesis: true difference in means is not equal to 0 
95 percent confidence interval:
 0.007352435 0.422008138 
sample estimates:
mean of x mean of y 
0.6706490 0.4559688
