Utilities for Building and Checking Add-on Packages

Description

Utilities for checking whether the sources of an R add-on package work correctly, and for building a source or binary package from them.

Usage

Rcmd build [options] pkgdirs
Rcmd check [options] pkgdirs

Arguments

pkgdirs a list of names of directories with sources of R add-on packages.
options further options to control the processing, or for obtaining information about usage and version of the utility.

Details

Rcmd check checks R add-on packages from their sources, performing a wide variety of diagnostic checks.

Rcmd build builds R source or binary packages from their sources.

Use Rcmd foo --help to obtain usage information on utility foo.

Note

These may not work correctly under Windows 95/98/ME because of problems Perl has launching programs on those limited OSes.
