cross building

I tried to find a nice solution for cross building my package for different platforms - well, for Windows mostly. I do not want to dig into R source code or compile R myself and stuff like that. Luckily, I found a good looking explanation shot explanation on the page for contributed documentation, but sadly I did not (!) get it to work. It is called "Building Microsoft Windows Versions of R and R packages under Intel Linux” by Jun Yan and A. J. Rossini, and comes with a PDF and a makefile. But the latter relies on resources that are no longer available online. That would/could have been great... I wrote an Email to the authors, but I did not get any response in the last two weeks. I don't recommend to spend time on that.

Comments

Henning: Which resources are not available anymore?

daniel: Files that the makefile wants to download are not available:
