[Rd] Autoconf / Windows package building problem for device package

[Tobias Verbeke]

Dear list,

Tadashi Kadowaki has developed a pdf device package
that allows to add hyperlinks and popups
to (currently) text, mtext and rect calls.

The package passes R CMD check (minor warnings) and compiles
on MacOS X and GNU/Linux, but we do not succeed in building
the package for Windows.

The current version of the package can be
checked out as

svn checkout svn://svn.r-forge.r-project.org/svnroot/pdf2/trunk

Please find the 00install.out below.

Could anyone tell why config.h is not found?

My practical experience with the GNU build
tools is very limited but I would have hoped
config.h.in would be processed into config.h.

Any pointer or hint will be appreciated.

Many thanks in advance,
Tobias

P.S. 00install.out (using R 2.7.1 and a current Rtools28.exe):
