Dear R People:
I'm trying to experiment with the "make distribution" with R-2.12.0
when compiling from source on Windows. It works fine on Windows XP,
but I'm having a snag with Windows 7.
Here is the snag:
cp -prf "../../../Tcl" R-2.12.0
cp: preserving permissions for `R-2.12.0/Tcl/bin': Invalid argument
cp: preserving permissions for `R-2.12.0/Tcl/doc': Invalid argument
and so on.
Has anyone run into this, please?
Yes. This is an issue with how you unpacked the Tcl directory.
Without knowing how you did that, you will need either to
- Use Windows Explorer to correct the ownership/permissions of Tcl and
those subdirectories -- sometimes simply renaming it and making a copy
called 'Tcl' is the easiest way forward.
- Remove it and unpack it some other way, e.g. via the zip file
available at http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/Rtools/
Cygwin and Windows 7/Vista do sometimes fight over permissions (and
this is using cp from Cygwin): I've seen this more often with the
Cygwin update in the current Rtools212 than in earlier versions.
Thanks for any help.
Sincerely,
Erin
