    C.8 Cygwin

    -

    The Cygwin emulation layer on Windows can be treated as a Unix-alike OS. -This is unsupported, but experiments have been conducted and a few -workarounds added. Cygwin has not been tested for R 3.0.0 or later. +

    R requires C99 complex type support, which is available as from -Cygwin 1.7.8 (March 2011). However, the (then) implementation of -cacos gave incorrect results, so we undefine HAVE_CACOS -in src/main/complex.c on that platform. It has been reported -that some C99 long double mathematical functions are missing, so -configuring with --disable-long-double was required. -

    Only building as a shared library can possibly work,60 so use e.g. -

    -
    -
    ./configure --disable-nls --enable-R-shlib FLIBS=-lgfortran

    You will need the tetex-extra Cygwin package to build -NEWS.pdf and the vignettes. -
