Building the Manuals

You may also wish to build the manuals (An Introduction to R, Writing R Extensions, $ \ldots$ and so on). For PDF manuals of the manuals, type:
make docs
under R-1.6.0/src/gnuwin32/. For info versions (not the Reference manuals), you need a version of makeinfo 4.2, which is included in the tool set provided by The R Core Team. Then cd into R-1.6.0/doc and type:
make -f Makefile.win info
For DVI versions of the manuals, type:
make -f Makefile.win dvi
under the directory R-1.6.0/doc. For HTML versions of the manuals, type:
make -f Makefile.win html
under the directory R-1.6.0/doc.
