[Rcppoctave-user] RcppOctave on Windows: testing needed

[Renaud Gaujoux]

Hi all,

I finally got RcppOctave to work on Windows!
See these threads for details on what it took:
http://lists.r-forge.r-project.org/pipermail/rcpp-devel/2013-October/006524.html
http://lists.r-forge.r-project.org/pipermail/rcpp-devel/2013-October/006555.html

I would love to have feedbacks -- and log output :) -- on
install/build/check run on other Windows machines. So feel free to try and
complain if things go wrong.

The source is available from github on branch develop:
https://github.com/renozao/RcppOctave/archive/develop.zip

Corresponding built source and binary packages are also available from my
CRAN-like repo:
http://web.cbio.uct.ac.za/~renaud/CRAN
e.g.:
install.packages('RcppOctave', repos = c(getOption('repos'), '
http://web.cbio.uct.ac.za/~renaud/CRAN'))

Requirements:
  * building: Octave bin/ sub-directory must be in Windows PATH + the usual
Rtools stuff. Probably better not to have spaces in R and Rtools paths;
  * installing: never actually tried... but Octave bin/ sub-directory must
be in the path, I imagine that Octave library directory (where liboctave,
liboctinterp and libcruft live) must also be somehow registered or in
Windows PATH.

Note that I developed/tested the windows version using the mingw port (
http://wiki.octave.org/Octave_for_Windows#Octave-3.6.4-mingw_.2B_octaveforge_pkgs),
not sure if this is important, probably it is, maybe someone knows ;)

I will also test on my side, but the more the merrier!

Thank you.

Bests,
Renaud
