Testing R build under Windows
=============================
 
- Build R, the bitmap library, the distribution, the installer.
 
    make
    make bitmapdll
    make tcl
 
    make check
 
    make distribution
    (cd installer; make; make clean)
 
- Test the rw1060.exe and miniR.exe installers and un-installing.
 
- cd to ../../tests and run
 
    make test-all-extras
 
    Go online and run
 
    make test-Internet
 
- Using the installed copy, do some interactive testing
 
    o Check it will start and run correctly in sdi and mdi modes.
      Check the pager by using help().
      Check also HTML and CHTML help.
 
    o run demo(graphics) and check the output looks correct.
 
    o run the tcl/tk demos by
 
        library(tcltk)
	demo(tkttest)
	demo(tkdensity)
	demo(tkcanvas)
	demo(tkfaq)
	demo(tkfilefind)
 
    o Check each of the console menu items in turn.  Try the
      right-click popup menu too.
 
    o Put up a simple plot and experiment with saving, copying and
      printing it.  Also try all the options of savePlot().  You'll
      need to look at the saved files, and paste into e.g. Word.
 
    o Try using identify().
 
    o Try the various resize options on the graphics window's menu.
 
    o Try printing and saving from a graphics window's menu.
 
    o Experiment with printing from the console, from a pager and
      printing to a win.print() device.
 
    o Shut down a graphics window, a pager and the console from the
      frame icons and menu, the File menu etc.
 
    o Test drag-and-drop onto a shortcut on the desktop and into the
      RGui console window.
 
    o Test the plot history commands on the History menu of a graphics
      window.
 
    o Try a canvas colour and plot some transparent and opaque
      rectangles.  Try example(points) and example(rect) too.
 
    o Test help.start() and the HTML help's search engine.  Also check
      cross-links between help files in different packages under HTML
      and CHTML.
 
    o Try Rcmd INSTALL on windlgs.
 
 
- Test Rprof and Rcmd Rprof.
 
- Check win.version() is reporting sensibly.
 
- Run undoc() and codoc() on a package you installed.
 
- cd front-ends then
 
    make -f make.rtest
    set R_HOME appropriately
    Rtest.exe
    >  try some simple R commands
    > q()
 
    If you have access to Visual C++, test it as described in readme.
 
- Install Thomas Baier's StatConnector (on CRAN under
  Software->Other->Non-standard packages) and run its tests.  (You
  will need to do this on an installed version or run .../bin/RSetReg.exe.)
 
- Using the installed copy, try building a copy of packages and a
  bundle (e.g. VR) using Rcmd INSTALL, and try Rcmd check and Rcmd
  build too.  Also a package that uses BLAS (e.g. quadprog).
 
- If you have latex installed, customize .../bin/helpPRINT.bat and
  test help(offline=TRUE).
 
- Try building using an ATLAS BLAS, and run the make check and make
  test-all-extras tests again.
 
- Check you can interrupt RGui with ESC and Rterm with Ctrl-C.
 
- check building Rmath.dll in src/nmath/standalone.
