This was an oversight on my part, and the package will be included in
the next release of Bioconductor (coming up in 8 weeks or so).
To build a probe package yourself, you use the tab-delimited probe file
from Affymetrix along with the makeProbePackage() function from
AnnotationDbi. This will create a folder in your current working
directory that can be built and installed using the R package building
system (R CMD build and R CMD INSTALL).
If you are on linux, you should be able to do these things by default.
If on Windows, you will need to get the Rtools toolset that Duncan
Murdoch makes available on his page:
http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/
If on MacOS, you will need to get the Xcode toolset and the GNU Fortran
compiler from this page:
http://r.research.att.com/tools/
I have sent you the source and Windows binary offline, so hopefully
either of those will work for you. If you are on a Mac, then you will
first need to get the tools from above.
Best,
Jim
