What has changed in R for Windows from version 1.7.1 to
2.2.0 that won't allow me to build binary packages?
On 1.7.1 I built a packge with this command:
Rcmd build --force --binary iL04
On 2.2.0 this fails. First I had to copy sh.exe from d:\bin to
c:\bin. This got me over the first hurdle. But then I got stuck
at a later point. Here are the last lines of output:
---------- Making package iL04 ------------
