[R-pkg-devel] Unable to create manual

[Edward Wei]

Hello Ivan.

The Does list.files(pattern = 'utils|Rout\\.fail') gave me something like
an empty string.

So after getting some in-person help on this issue, the key to resolving
this error was explicitly defining the environmental variables in the
console as:

set
PDFLATEX=C:\Users\edmon\AppData\Local\Programs\MiKTeX\miktex\bin\x64\pdflatex



set
MAKEINDEX=C:\Users\edmon\AppData\Local\Programs\MiKTeX\miktex\bin\x64\makeindex


The makeindex was a package I was apparently missing for MikTex and I had
to download it as part of generating the manual.


I would have to set up the environmental variables every time that R got
started in order for the R CMD check to run smoothly.


Best regards,
