It was some time ago, but as far as I remember immediately after installing RTools (and after having already registered Sweave.sty with LaTeX) I could to easily compile LyX Sweave documents. To echo Murat, on Linux and Mac it's all much more straightforward, since simply installing LyX and R suffices to make LyX Sweave work. > In the instructions, it seems as if RTools does not get run; or am I missing > something. > > Also when I downloaded RTools it seems as if this is a tools to re-compile > the source code, since a full download also inlcludes a compiler etc. > Furthermore, it also seems as if RTools implements Cygwin. > That might be one of the things that allows for the LyX Sweave integration. It might be better for you to tell us what exactly doesn't work on your set-up: LyX compilation errors, etc. Regards Liviu > All in all very confusing........ > > Really appreciate you taking the trouble to try and help > > Regards > Steve > > -----Original Message----- > From: Liviu Andronic [mailto:landronim...@gmail.com] > Sent: 12 June 2011 11:32 PM > To: Steve Sidney > Cc: myi...@gmail.com; lyx-users@lists.lyx.org > Subject: Re: lyx 2 and sweave > > On Sun, Jun 12, 2011 at 4:02 PM, Steve Sidney <ste...@nla.org.za> wrote: >> How does RTools get invoked; I see that it is a very large >> installation >> (200Mb) with compiler etc but I can't see where it get used in either >> Rob's or your description. >> > As far as I know, RTools simply (among other things) properly sets up R in > the Windows environment so that LaTeX and LyX can communicate with R.
