[Rd] pcre library in R (PR#9319)

[Daniel Berg]

I have the same problem, trying to cross-compile.

I'm running Ubuntu Edgy, kernel 2.6.17-10-generic, on an IBM T60.

I downloaded the Makefile from CRAN and ran make CrossCompileBuild
with the following error messages (also ran each make one at the time
and the problem occurs in make R):

../extra/pcre/libpcre.a(pcre_dfa_exec.o):pcre_dfa_exec.c:(.text+0x1703):

`/home/daniel/Jobb/R/RCrossBuild/WinR/R-2.4.0/src/gnuwin32'

Can you please report in greater detail how you added the files
pcre_ucp_searchfuncs.c and ucptable.c Mr. Kinney?
I have downloaded the files but I don't know where to put them, under
/WinR/R-2.4.0/src/extra/pcre? And to which makefile, Makefilw.win?

Thank you.

Best wishes,
Daniel Berg
