[Rd] zlib location

[Duncan Murdoch]

I'm trying to build the 1.4.0 development version of R for Windows.
I'll be posting problems as they arise, until I give up (or succeed),
or someone asks me to stop.

1.  I don't have zlib, the compression library.  The source file
gnuwin32/unzip/WHERE says to get it from
ftp://ftp.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/zlib/zlib.html; that web site says
it has been closed and redirects me to http://www.gzip.org/zlib/.
(The file itself claims to be at
ftp://ftp.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/doc/WHERE, and it is, with the same
stale URL, hence the CC of this message to Zip-bugs.)
The WHERE file was written by the info-zip people, but I couldn't turn
up a newer version.  If there is one and I find it, I'll pass it on.

2.  I get some warnings during the compile; I decided to ignore them.
I missed catching some; some others were:

Rstrptime.h:206: warning: ANSI C forbids braced-groups within
expressions

/usr/lib/bison.simple:285: warning: `yyval' might be used
uninitialized in this
function

main.c:327: warning: variable `baseEnv' might be clobbered by
`longjmp' or `vfor
k'

objects.c: In function `do_set_prim_method':

objects.c:962: warning: `code' might be used uninitialized in this

de\oleidl.h:43: warning: ANSI C restricts enumerator values to range
of `int'

3.  And here's the one that has stopped me for tonight:

graphappmain.o(.text+0x121):graphappmain.c: undefined reference to
`_imp__R_rese
rved_size'
rgui.o(.text+0x63):rgui.c: undefined reference to
`_imp__CharacterMode'
