Using Rtools in Windows

#1

Has anyone been able to successfully get Rtools to run correctly on the Windows version of sublime? I’ve tried several things and nothing has worked. I asked the developer and he doesn’t have access to a Windows machine so he suggested I post a question here.

This is what I have tried so far.

  1. Added C:\Program Files\R\R-2.15.2\bin\x64 to my path

  2. Changed R64 to Rgui.exe in the Rtools.py file.

  3. I noticed there was another file as part of the package called R.sublime-build that references R64. Should that also be changed to R.exe or Rgui.exe? I tried changing it and it still didn’t work so I don’t know if that should be changed or not.

  4. I noticed that there was a keymap file for OSX but not for windows. So I copied the text from the OS X keymap file and pasted it into my Key Bindings- User file. I changed the keybindings to F8 and shift-F8 which is similar to Notepad++ which is what I’m used to.

Still nothing has worked and I’m out of ideas. Has anyone been able to get this to work on Windows?

Here’s the conversation I had with the developer: github.com/karthikram/Rtools/issues/17

Thanks for any help! :sunglasses:
