The R Project SVN R

To create a version of R that can be compiled under windows (starting in Unix)
follow the following instructions:

    o make distclean in the R directory.

    o run configure.win.

    o copy to the Windows machine the R/src directories: 
        - include
        - appl
        - graphics
        - lib
        - main
        - math
        - regex
        - windows

    o copy the R directories:
        - demos
        - html
        - library


Then create a project in your favorite compiler/ide (mine's watcom these days)
    o this pretty much just consists of adding the C code to a project
    o the file engine.c in regex should NOT be included
    o you need to add the R/src/include;R/src/windows and R/src/regex
      directories to the list of places to search for .h files
    o under Watcom you need to turn on case-sensitive linking (Windows
      linking switches).
    
    o you need to add wincons.rc and wincons.rws to the project
      and under Watcom you need to add /R/src/include to the includes
      for the resource linker

Simply making the project at this point does the trick for me (most of the
time).
