Hi,
Below is the help from a terminal session. Note that you provide the directory
name (where your package files are located). I think in your case that would
be '/Users/emhodgess/RcmdrPlugin.gstats'
ben@gale ~ $ R CMD build --help
Usage: R CMD build [options] pkgdirs
Build R packages from package sources in the directories specified by
‘pkgdirs’
Options:
-h, --help print short help message and exit
-v, --version print version info and exit
--force force removal of INDEX file
--keep-empty-dirs do not remove empty dirs
--no-build-vignettes do not (re)build package vignettes
--no-manual do not build the PDF manual even if \Sexprs are present
--resave-data= re-save data files as compactly as possible:
"no", "best", "gzip" (default)
--resave-data same as --resave-data=best
--no-resave-data same as --resave-data=no
--compact-vignettes= try to compact PDF files under inst/doc:
"no" (default), "qpdf", "gs", "gs+qpdf", "both"
--compact-vignettes same as --compact-vignettes=qpdf
--md5 add MD5 sums
