Hello.
I am trying to build R on Windows. It appears that my build passes the various
"make checks" (unless I missed some error) and running Rterm seems to work fine
whereas Rgui has an immediate error stating "
AppName: rgui.exe AppVer: 2.150.58871.0 ModName: rzlib.dll
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 0000a9e5
The taskbar still works, but the console window has nothing in it, and trying
to open a script drops me back to Windows.
Even though it seemingly passing make check-all, I ran 'testInstalledBasic
("both")' in the terminal and received the same error that was addressed here
in 2010 <https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2010-May/237947.html> and was
not addressed here in 2011
<https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2011-June/282354.html>: that primitives
fail on >=.
I'm not certain if this affects anything, as in Rterm, the >= comparison works
fine (4 >= 5 returns FALSE and 4 >= 1 returns TRUE).
Be that as it may, it would be very helpful to find out what would cause the
compiled R to have Rgui not work properly yet pass all the checks? I'd rather
use the gui than the terminal, for what it is worth.
If it helps, I have been using the following:
Tarball - R-2.15.0.tar.gz
Rtools - 2.15
CYGWIN 1.7 already installed (for ATLAS) so Rtools CYGWIN dlls NOT
installed
Tcl/tk, libjpeg, libpng, libtiff all installed
cairo-current-win.tar.gz
The only other change I made was to set EOPTS=-march=corei7 as the GCC included
in the toolchain in 4.6.3 which recognizes the i7 (as opposed to Cygwin which
is using 4.5.3 and only recognizes the core2).
My computer is a Lenovo W520 with a Core i7 2760QM running Windows XP
Professional.
If there is any other information that would be helpful in uncovering why this
is happening, please let me know.
Thank you very much,
Avraham Adler
PS: Copying the compiled Rblas.dll over to my regular R install (binary from
the CRAN) seems to work just fine and provides a significant speedup in matrix
operations in the few tests that I have done.
