Pre-compiled binary packages for R-2.9.x for Windows
====================================================

***************************************************************************
** This collection is no longer updated. Please upgrade to R>=2.10.1     **

This collection is unsupported. Please compile from sources
yourself in case of any problems. Please ask the package maintainer
in case of any questions.

Building binary versions of the contributed packages on CRAN has been
automated. Binary packages will be available on CRAN about 1-3 days
after the sources have been published. Please do *not* submit binary
versions of any packages, because that needs manual intervention by
this collection's maintainer (hence it is time consuming).

Some packages have been working in a former version, but do no longer
compile on Windows or do not pass "R CMD check". The last `working'
versions are still available in the repository, but outdated.

Packages that do not compile out of the box or do not pass
"R CMD check" with "OK" or at least a "WARNING" will *not* be
published. The results of "R CMD check" are given in
CRAN/bin/windows/contrib/checkSummaryWin.html
In case of a "WARNING" or an "ERROR", please check the corresponding
check.log files in subdirectory ./check.

Possible reasons for not-compiling or not-passing the checks:
 - I do not have some other software the package depends on
 - The package needs manual configuration
 - Any other reason I do not want to discover

The packages
  BRugs, ncdf, RCurl, RDieHarder, RNetCDF, udunits, and XML
do not build out of the box or are special in other circumstances.
Nevertheless these are available at
  http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin/bin/windows/contrib/2.9/
kindly provided by Professor Brian D. Ripley.

The packages
  ADaCGH, cmprskContin, crosshybDetector, cudaBayesreg, doMC, doMPI,
  fork, ljr, multicore, nice, Rcplex, RDieHarder, Rlsf, rimage, Rmpi, 
  ROracle, rpvm, rsbml, RScaLAPACK, rsprng, snowFT, taskPR, and TSpadi
or their dependencies also require additional libraries / software to
build on Windows I do not have (and may not even exist in versions for
Windows).

The packages
  extRemes, geozoo, mimR, RWinEdt, and sound
are checked with "--install:fake" for various
reasons - most of them due to GUI interactions.

The packages
  amei, BB, Bergm, dse, latentnet, np, tgp, twang, and Zelig
are checked with
  "--no-tests --no-examples --no-vignettes"
due to their long lasting checks - as well as
  graphicsQC
because of strange buffering issues with if checking it via make.

Package RGtk2 requires an installed version of Gtk2 with version
number >= 2.10.11 from http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gladewin32/.

For some packages, additional third party libraries or programs are
required in your path, these are (at least!):
- for package biOps:  jpeg62.dll, libtiff3.dll, libfftw3-3.dll
- for package rggobi: ggobi >= 2.1.7
- for package SoPhy:  libtiff3.dll
- for package dataframes2xls: Python
- for package ReadImages: jpeg62.dll
- for package rjags: JAGS 1.0.3
- for package WriteXLS: ActivePerl
- for package RPostgreSQL: libraries from postgresql 8.3.4-1 or compatible
- please drop me a note for additional requirements

Some packages include additional binary components that need additional 
third party sources in order to compile. For license (such as GPL) 
compliance (and completeness), we are hosting the sources as follows:
- gsl sources are available from the CRAN extras server at
  http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin/GPLcompliance/support/gsl-1.12.tar.bz2 
- for all other third party sources, please see
