[R] building zipped package with windows

[Jannis]

Dear list,

i would like to build an own package using:

R CMD INSTALL --html --build --auto-zip -l folder spectral.methods

it seems to succeed as I get the following messages:

* installing *source* package 'spectral.methods' ...
** R
** data
Warning: empty 'data' directory
** preparing package for lazy loading
** help
*** installing help indices
  converting help for package 'spectral.methods'
    finding HTML links ... done
    filter.tseries.SSA                      html  
    gapfilling.SSA                          html  
    spectral.methods-package                html  
** building package indices ...
** testing if installed package can be loaded
* MD5 sums
packaged installation of 'spectral.methods' as spectral.methods_1.0.zip

* DONE (spectral.methods)

I can also load the package using library('spectral.methods') and everything seems to work fine. The way I understand the R CMD INSTALL command, however, lets me to expect that a zipped directory is created which does not happen. Do I need to zip the folder independently? Do I need to install some sort of zipping program?

I have installed rtools.


Cheers
Jannis
