Hello, I am stuck trying to build 64-bit R 2.12.1 on Windows 7, hopefully the problem is obvious and someone can point out what I'm missing.
Well into the "make all recommended" process, I get an error: make[4]: *** [Rzlib.dll] Error 4 (A longer report on the error in the build print is below - there is also help output from sed that I have included but don't know if it is relevant. ) If I follow the same set up but choose a 32-bit build it runs successfully to completion and I can run R. I have tried this on two different machines running 64-bit Windows with the released R 2.12.1. The error is the same when using R-patched_2010-12-27_r53886. I'm sorry if this is something obvious, but I believe I've followed the instructions carefully and do not know what I might be doing wrong. As far as I can tell I should not need to modify BINPREF64 or SYMPAT64 if use Rtools 2.12. Is that correct? A description of the set up and build process follows. Best regards, Mike. ---------------------------------- Context ---------------------------------- Using Rtools212.exe, with MiKTeX, no static HTML help, and no installer build. Everything installed is Run As Administrator, including the command prompt used to build R. ----------------------------------- Environment Variables ----------------------------------- These environment variables are set: PATH Rtools and MiKTeX installed, with the following at the start of PATH: c:\inst\R\Rtools\bin;c:\inst\R\Rtools\perl\bin;c:\inst\R\Rtools\MinGW\bin;c:\inst\R\Rtools\MinGW64\bin;C:\inst\MiKTeX\miktex\bin; TAR_OPTIONS Options to avoid messages when extracting sources: --no-same-owner --no-same-permissions TMPDIR I can write to this directory: G:\systemTEMP -------------------------------- Build steps -------------------------------- 1) Extract from the archive tar -xf R-patched_2010-12-27_r53886.tar.gz 2) Copy Rsrc "src/" and "Tcl/" into R-patched/ from the relevant 64 bit Rtools source 3) Create the following file [R_HOME]/src/gnuwin32/MkRules.local # 32- or 64-bit Windows? WIN = 64 JPEGDIR = jpeg-8a 4) Make cd R-patched/src/gnuwin32 make all recommended --------------------------------- Error message in context --------------------------------- . . . making uncompr.d from uncompr.c making zutil.d from zutil.c gcc -std=gnu99 -I../../include -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -O3 -Wall -pedantic -DR_ARCH='"x64"' -DW64 -c adler32.c -o adler32.o gcc -std=gnu99 -I../../include -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -O3 -Wall -pedantic -DR_ARCH='"x64"' -DW64 -c compress.c -o compress.o gcc -std=gnu99 -I../../include -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -O3 -Wall -pedantic -DR_ARCH='"x64"' -DW64 -c crc32.c -o crc32.o gcc -std=gnu99 -I../../include -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -O3 -Wall -pedantic -DR_ARCH='"x64"' -DW64 -c deflate.c -o deflate.o gcc -std=gnu99 -I../../include -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -O3 -Wall -pedantic -DR_ARCH='"x64"' -DW64 -c gzio.c -o gzio.o gcc -std=gnu99 -I../../include -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -O3 -Wall -pedantic -DR_ARCH='"x64"' -DW64 -c infback.c -o infback.o gcc -std=gnu99 -I../../include -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -O3 -Wall -pedantic -DR_ARCH='"x64"' -DW64 -c inffast.c -o inffast.o gcc -std=gnu99 -I../../include -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -O3 -Wall -pedantic -DR_ARCH='"x64"' -DW64 -c inflate.c -o inflate.o gcc -std=gnu99 -I../../include -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -O3 -Wall -pedantic -DR_ARCH='"x64"' -DW64 -c inftrees.c -o inftrees.o gcc -std=gnu99 -I../../include -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -O3 -Wall -pedantic -DR_ARCH='"x64"' -DW64 -c trees.c -o trees.o gcc -std=gnu99 -I../../include -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -O3 -Wall -pedantic -DR_ARCH='"x64"' -DW64 -c uncompr.c -o uncompr.o gcc -std=gnu99 -I../../include -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -O3 -Wall -pedantic -DR_ARCH='"x64"' -DW64 -c zutil.c -o zutil.o Usage: sed [OPTION]... {script-only-if-no-other-script} [input-file]... -n, --quiet, --silent suppress automatic printing of pattern space -e script, --expression=script add the script to the commands to be executed -f script-file, --file=script-file add the contents of script-file to the commands to be executed --follow-symlinks follow symlinks when processing in place -i[SUFFIX], --in-place[=SUFFIX] edit files in place (makes backup if extension supplied) -b, --binary open files in binary mode (CR+LFs are not processed specially) -l N, --line-length=N specify the desired line-wrap length for the `l' command --posix disable all GNU extensions. -r, --regexp-extended use extended regular expressions in the script. -s, --separate consider files as separate rather than as a single continuous long stream. -u, --unbuffered load minimal amounts of data from the input files and flush the output buffers more often --help display this help and exit --version output version information and exit If no -e, --expression, -f, or --file option is given, then the first non-option argument is taken as the sed script to interpret.
