The R Project SVN R

The version of Rd.sty here uses url.sty. This is normally installed,
and can be obtained from any CTAN node or mirror: see

    http://www.tug.org/ctan.html


The Reference manual is made using the ae virtual fonts package. If
you do not have that available, you can get it from CTAN, or set the
macro AE, for example

    make AE=. dvi 

but the latin1 characters in text.Rd (and a few other places) will be
missing.  The ae font package provides a reasonable approximation.
You will get better rendition by using a Rd.cfg containing

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

BUT you cannot use t1 postscript fonts with that setting.


Support for making PDF versions of the manuals is currently
experimental.  You will need pdftex and the hyperref package (and ae,
see above).  Hyperref versions 6.56 and 6.67 are known to work.
If you want to avoid making the hyperlinks, you can set the PDF macro
(as described in the Makefile).

You may well have to increase the poolsize of your pdflatex to process
Reference.pdf with hyperlinks, particularly with later versions of
hyperref. On a web2c-based system (teTeX, fptex, ...) set the environment
variable pool_size, for example to 250000


For Windows builds you may need to alter the TEXINPUTS.  The examples
in Makefile.win work with fptex.
