[R] Problem with making dll under Windows

[Albrecht, Dr. Stefan (APEP)]

Dear all,

Now everything is fine. Thanks a lot for your responses.

After the first attempts did not work, I moved some perl files into the 
C:\Programme\R\R-2.5.1\share\perl
folder. 

However, also this did not help either. 


Finally, after you emails, I (re)installed R, Rtools and Perl (and removed cygwin and DevC++ before) and so the R CMD SHLIB is now working.

I am not fully aware, what was exactly going wrong, but I guess the PATH names did make some trouble, but this might not have been the only reason.

Best regards,
Stefan Albrecht

Please check that you have installed a suitable environment (tools, 
compiler etc.) as mentioned in the R Installation and Administration 
manual. Öooks like your version of Perl is corrupted.

I got with your C program:

d:\aaa>R CMD SHLIB dmypow.c
making dmypow.d from dmypow.c
gcc   -It:/R/include  -Wall -O3 -std=gnu99   -c dmypow.c -o dmypow.o
windres -I t:/R/include  -i dmypow_res.rc -o dmypow_res.o
gcc  -shared -s  -o dmypow.dll dmypow.def dmypow.o dmypow_res.o 
-Lt:/R/bin    -lR
