Making the installer

You can make an install package (R-x.y.z-win32.exe) in the current
 - 
 
5 
Windows style by using the installer kit Inno Setup 5.1.2 or later
 4 
Details on building the installer are now given in the `R Installation
6 
from jrsoftware.org.
 -

You need the R installation built completely (see ../INSTALL: this
 5 
and Administration Manual' in the doc/manual directory.  An HTML
9 
includes making bitmap and Tcl/Tk support and the manuals).
 - 
 
10 
It's worthwhile testing it too!

Go to the parent of this directory and edit ISDIR in ../MkRules and run
 6 
version is at doc/html/R-admin.html, unless you obtained R using
13 
 
 - 
 
14 
make distribution
 - 
 
15 
make clean
 7 
Subversion.
16 
 
 - 
 
17 
You will have R-x.y.z-win32.exe both in this dir and in the cran dir.
 -

19 
Note that building the installer needs ca 85Mb of free memory.

Making a custom installer
 - 
 
23 
=========================
 - 
 
24 
 
 - 
 
25 
1) If you want to customize the installation by adding extra packages,
 - 
 
26 
replace `make distribution' by something like
 - 
 
27 
 
 - 
 
28 
	make distribution EXTRA_PKGS='pkg1 pkg2 pkg3'
 - 
 
29 
 
 - 
 
30 
 
 - 
 
31 
2) If you don't want to make R from the sources yourself, make a full
 - 
 
32 
installation of R from the standard installer (that is, select 'Full
 - 
 
33 
Installation' from the 'Select Components' screen), then add packages
 - 
 
34 
and make other customizations.
 - 
 
35 
 
 - 
 
36 
Edit ISDIR in ../MkRules if you have not already done so.  Then in
 - 
 
37 
this directory run
 - 
 
38 
 
 - 
 
39 
	make myR IMAGEDIR=rootdir
 - 
 
40 
 
 - 
 
41 
where `rootdir' is the path to the root of the customized installation
 - 
 
42 
(forward slashes and no spaces, please).
