Hi all, i am a relatively new user of bioconductor. i am using R 2.5.0 installed on windows. I have used bioconductor for processing affy data. Last few days i have been trying to develop a CDF package for a custom affy array. I downloaded the makecdfenv package and used the commands in there to create a cdf package (using the .cdf file). but it seems that is not enough in windows environment. I have read the instructions in R installation and admin manual. Accordingly i installed the windows toolset (active perl, command line tools and MinGW compilers (Rtools.exe), inno setup installer). I have also changed the path according to the instructions in Rtools.txt. However, I cannot understand the following statement in the R manual: There are a number of options available: use R CMD INSTALL The same command works in Windows if you have the source-code package files (option ?Source Package Installation Files? in the installer) and toolset (see The Windows toolset) installed. I have tried this command (R cmd install path_for_cdfpackage). But it is not recognized as a command and i get an error. What are these source-code package files? Where can i get them? Is there anything else that i need to do to create the cdf package? Thanks a lot, Salim ______________________________________________________________________ ______________ Looking for a deal?

Is the bin directory of your R also in your PATH? Your efforts with makecdfenv should have produced a source package directory. Can you try: c:\<your_path_here>\R-2.5.0\bin\R CMD INSTALL somecdfpackagedir I think you are close to getting things to work. + seth -- Seth Falcon | Computational Biology | Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center http://bioconductor.org

Thanks a lot... I was able to execute the command R CMD INSTALL cdfpackage. unfortunately there is an error during execution. the first few steps go well (adding build stamp to DESCRIPTION, installing R files, data files, man source files,....installing help) (i noticed that a subdirectory named 'chm' is created in packagecdf during execution) The execution malfunctions at this point and i get the following error hhc: not found cp: cannot stat 'c://packagecdf/chm/packagecdf.chm' no such file or directory make[1]: ***[chm-packagecdf] Error 1 *** Installation of packagecdf failed *** Acc to the manual .chm file is created by microsoft help html workshop which i have installed on the computer (and also added to the path). Any idea why i am still getting this error?

This indicates that you _don't_ have the MS HTML workshop in your path. You could also do rcmd install --docs=txt,html,latex <packagename> which won't build the chm help.
