Hi R Mac Folks... A question about using Mac-built pkgs on the dreaded
Windows machines.

I have successfully checked, built and installed a package on my Mac.  The
package tarball is at github.com/bryanhanson/ChemoSpec if you care to try
installing it.  It was checked and built with defaults, so I did

> R CMD check ChemoSpec
> R CMD build ChemoSpec

And everything was fine.  I can install it and run it on my Mac no problem.
I believe it is a łsource˛ package ­ there is no compiled code, itšs all
straightfoward R.

Now, I want to test the installation on Windows (because students have to
use it next semester).  Išm having a variety of problems getting it upzipped
and installed.  Before I spend a lot of time trouble shooting the Windows
aspect, and herešs my question, should this package as I built it and so
forth work on  Windows without modification?  Or do I have to do the
check/build with different options?  Or do I have to do the entire process
on a Windows machine (pray not!).  Išve looked around in the manuals and
help pages a bit, there doesnšt seem to be any hint that a different process
is needed.

By the way, I can manually get the entire package intact as text files to
the proper Windows directory, but R claims it is not a valid installed
package.  Any of the RGui Windows means of installing the package give
various problems.  Išll keep trouble shooting these but I wanted to double
check that what I am trying to do should work.

Thanks, Bryan
