[rkward-users] Re : MinGW4 32 or MinGW4 64

[Francois Maurice]

Thanks. I installed KDE for Windows with MinGW4 64 bit compiler and it works fine until now. I'll let you know if something weird appears.
 
By the way, I installed RKWard on my machine at my job and many people over there are interested to install it on there machine. I'm trying also to convince my thesis supervisor to use RKWard instead of RStudio. I'll let you know about it.

what exactly do you want to do? Do you mean, which compiler version of KDE 
should you install, if you want to install RKWard using the "Custom 
installation"-procedure? It's MinGW4 32bit, then. I have made this explicit on 
our web instructions, now.

Same answer, if you are looking for the compiler to match the Windows binaries 
we provide (e.g. for custom-compilation of R add-on packages). It's MinGW4 
32bit.

Or do you want to compile RKWard from source? In this case either should be 
fine. For general information on this, see http://p.sf.net/rkward/windows 
(last section of the page).

We don't have the resources to compile a 64bit Windows version of RKWard, and 
thus compilation with MinGW4 64bit is untested. However, RKWard is built for 
other 64bit systems, regularly, and I don't expect any fundamental problems, 
here (if you run into anything, let us know on rkward-devel).

Note that the advantages of running a 64bit version of R are probably less 
pronounced than you may expect. See http://cran.r-
project.org/bin/windows/base/rw-FAQ.html , questions 2.27-2.29.

Thomas
