Subject: [Rd] Creating vignette pdf on Windows
Message-ID: <loom.20041120T035849-510@post.gmane.org>


On page 11 of the Extensions manual it says that "R CMD build will
automatically create PDF versions of the vignettes for distribution"
however, I have not been successful on Windows 2.0.1 beta.

I tried creating a simple package by entering the code in
the ?package.skeleton example then adding the Rnw file from
the utils package to AnExample\inst\doc but when I ran 
  R CMD build 
it did not seem to create a tex or pdf file.  What am I
doing wrong?


... In R
R>          f <- function(x,y) x+y
R>          g <- function(x,y) x-y
R>          d <- data.frame(a=1,b=2)
R>          e <- rnorm(1000)
R>          package.skeleton(list=c("f","g","d","e"), name="AnExample")

Done.
Further steps are described in ./AnExample/README 


At command line:

C:\>cd \Program Files\R\rw2001beta

C:\Program Files\R\rw2001beta>md AnExample\inst\doc

C:\Program Files\R\rw2001beta>copy library\utils\Sweave\*.Rnw 
AnExample\inst\doc
library\utils\Sweave\Sweave-test-1.Rnw
        1 file(s) copied.
