[Rd] Problem with R_registerRoutines

[Jon.SKOIEN at ec.europa.eu]

Thanks a lot for your answer Jeroen!
I should have mentioned that I had actually only checked with the win-builder, as I did not have R-devel installed on my computer.
But based on your answer I installed R-devel locally on a Linux-server (Redhat), and the package could be checked without the NOTE. So you might be right that this is a windows issue. However, another package that I am maintaining does not get any notes from the check on the win-builder (including fortran-code), so there is still something I don't understand here.

Anyway, does this mean that the package might be accepted on CRAN without further changes?

Thanks,
Jon

On Windows this warning may be a false positive if R cannot find
"objdump.exe" which is required for this check. I think this is
actually a bug in R because it should be looking for "objdump.exe"
inside BINPREF (where gcc is) rather than on the PATH.

Can you check if you get the same warning if you upload the package to
https://win-builder.r-project.org ?
