R包的windows安装

Question

我正在运行ubuntu，64位。我有这个最小的测试包 ，我作出了学习如何做这些事情（我遵循此tutorial，除了我也有一些C代码在包中）。当我跑

R CMD check MySmallPackage 

就可以了，它工作正常（见下文）。然后， 我跑

R CMD build MySmallPackage 

它也可以工作（见下文）。所以，现在，我送 产生的.tar.gz下载到运行WIN7 64位 （和64位R）的朋友，他得到这个错误信息：

*** arch - i386 
ERROR: compilation failed for package 'MySmallPackage' 
* removing 'C:/Users/ES/Documents/R/win-library/2.15/MySmallPackage' 
Warning in install.packages : 
    running command 'C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-215~1.1/bin/x64/R CMD INSTALL -l "C:/Users/ES/Documents/R/win-library/2.15" "C:/Users/ES/Downloads/MySmallPackage_0.1.1(1).tar.gz"' had status 1 
Warning in install.packages : 
    installation of package ‘C:/Users/ES/Downloads/MySmallPackage_0.1.1(1).tar.gz’ had non-zero exit status 

这是非常令人费解。任何人都可以指出什么可能会导致这个问题（我多年没有使用Windows，但该软件包安装在Linux上很好）。该错误消息对我来说有点神秘。

您需要为Linux，Mac和Windows机器构建不同的软件包。

有一个（至少）四种可能性：

1. 主机你的包上r-forge。每晚r-forge都会构建一个linux，windows和mac版本的软件包。
2. 使用由Uwe Ligges维护的在线窗口package builder。
3. 发送给你的朋友的源代码，并让他在Windows机器上构建包。当我搜索“构建软件包窗口”时，我得到了一些有用的点击。
4. 将您的软件包置于github上，然后使用devtools软件包安装软件包。
