[Rcpp-devel] Path space problem on Windows

[Etienne B. Racine]

Hi list,

I have a problem with building my package under windows (the same issue as
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2011-July/284631.html)<https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2011-July/284631.html>
However, I could not fix the problem as I could not find where that
unquoted spaced path was coming. I'm not used to building packages under
windows, so maybe the solution is obvious, but I couldn't find it. I've
replaced all the `program files` in PATH by `PROGRA~1`, but some `program
files` seems to be creeping in.

Here's the compilation message:

R CMD INSTALL --build the_package.tar.gz
* installing to library 'C:/Program Files/R/R-2.14.0/library'
* installing *source* package 'the_package' ...
** libs
cygwin warning:
  MS-DOS style path detected: C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-2.14.0/etc/i386/Makeconf
  Preferred POSIX equivalent is:
/cygdrive/c/PROGRA~1/R/R-2.14.0/etc/i386/Makeco
nf
  CYGWIN environment variable option "nodosfilewarning" turns off this
warning.
  Consult the user's guide for more details about POSIX paths:

ERROR: compilation failed for package 'the_package'
* removing 'C:/Program Files/R/R-2.14.0/library/the_package'
* restoring previous 'C:/Program Files/R/R-2.14.0/library/the_package'

Who's producing that evil C:/Program
Files/R/R-2.14.0/library/Rcpp/lib/i386/libRcpp.a ? I just want to suround
it with quotes !

Thanks,
Etienne
