But the first is from 2005 and the second is invalid (it should be
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/contrib/cross-build.pdf and describes R
1.7.x: what it describes is no longer supported).
For some time you can install a package without compilable sources on
any R platform. So the tarball would be all that is needed. If
compilation is needed, submit to winbuilder to make .zip file.

R CMD INSTALL --build packagename
That will create a *.tar.gz file, not a *.zip file. The latter being
what Erin wanted, if I understand correctly.
I have worked around the problem in the past with a shell script
like unto:
#! /bin/csh
set vnum = `grep Version $pkge/DESCRIPTION | sed -e 's/Version: //'`
R CMD INSTALL -l Lib $pkge >& /dev/null
cd Lib
zip -r -l $pkge.zip $pkge >& /dev/null
mv $pkge.zip ../$pkge"_"$vnum.zip
In the foregoing "pkge" is the name of the package you are trying to
build. You will have to have created the "holding library" "Lib" a
priori.
There are doubtless (much) better ways of accomplishing this task, but
I
don't know them.
cheers,
Rolf

Hello yet again.
I am trying to create a zip file for a friend who has a Windows
machine.
He needs to access this via the "local zip file" packages option.
When I use R CMD INSTALL --compile-both, it produces an item in the
library
tree (as promised).
However, I would like to have an actual .zip file.
I do know at one time that was possible, not sure if I can still do
it.
I did try R CMD INSTALL --force-biarch as well, same result as
compile
both.
thank you for any suggestions.
Sincerely,
Erin
