<P>Hello:</P>
<P>Many thanks to Professor Ripley for responding to my earlier post, included below, about trying to use mingw32 gcc.I did put back the original Rinternals.h. I am still crashing R every time I try to use C code. </P>
<P></P>
<P>Here is what I did, basd on readme.packages:</P>
<P></P>
<P>1.) Ensured that C:\Rtools was first in my path, and obtained a new tools.zip from BDR's R tools site.</P>
<P></P>
<P>2.) Ensured that I do have Mingw-1.1, whose bin directory is in my path. Here is my path:</P>
<P></P>
<P>C:\rw1051\src\gnuwin32>path</P>
<P>PATH="C:\Rtools\";C:\Perl\bin;"C:\Mingw-1.1\bin";"C:\Rw1051\bin";C:\WINNT\system32;C:\WINNT;"D:\Program Files\Hummingbird\Connectivity\7.00\Accessories\";C:\Mingw-1.1\bin;</P>
<P></P>
<P>3.) Installed ActivePerl 5.6.1.</P>
<P></P>
<P>4.) Set R_HOME to C:\Rw1051</P>
<P></P>
<P>5.) edited MkRules: set only HEADER=C:\mingw-1.1\include</P>
<P></P>
<P>6.) Tried to make make libR.a:</P>
<P></P>
<P>C:\rw1051\src\gnuwin32>make libR.a</P>
<P></P>
<P>dlltool -k --as as --dllname R.dll --def R.exp --output-lib libR.a</P>
<P>make: dlltool: Command not found</P>
<P>make: *** [libR.a] Error 127</P>
<P>Now, dlltool.exe is in mingw-1.1\bin, which is in my path. I </P>
<P>have no idea why that file is not found!</P>
<P></P>
<P>I tried a google search and found some earlier reports of </P>
<P>Error 127 and dlltool problems with R, but most seem to </P>
<P>involve using rcmd INSTALL.</P>
<P></P>
<P>What is my next step here? Have i missed something obvious in readme.packages? Thanks in advance...</P>
