R Portable App

Submitted by billhuber on December 13, 2011 - 12:07pm

I created a portable version of the R language for statistical computing and graphics. R is available as Free Software under the terms of the Free Software Foundation's GNU General Public License in source code form. There is a portable version of R available from http://sourceforge.net/projects/rportable/files/ but it is hard to find and has not been updated recently. I was wondering if we could add this app to the portableapps.com site.

The appinfo for the version I built is:

[Format]
Type=PortableApps.comFormat
Version=2.0

[Details]
Name=R Portable
AppID=R-Portable

64 bit versions of Portable Apps

Submitted by jfoster81747 on December 6, 2011 - 5:20pm

I am just wondering if there are any of the Portable Apps that are 64bit specefic. I think that all of them are currently 32bit & to some extent that makes sense as it give the developers a broader range of apps & potential. However I also think that is a dwindling process & was wondering about a fork to 64bit.

PAF newcomer

Submitted by Magibon on December 6, 2011 - 8:06am

hello everybody!

im a frequent visitor here.
all of my apps. are either PAF, NSIS, but are all portable except for the few that need to be installed.

i have been using NSIS to make my portable apps. but decided to switch to PAF because of John @ PortableFreeware.com.

I have successfully built a few apps already.. but i have a few nagging questions i hope can be clarified here Smile

1. If the application stores it's settings in the registry:
- do i have to use [FileMove] to back it up in addition to [registry]activate=true? or is setting the registry key to be portabilized enough?

Help with Java app portability

Hey folks,

I'm in the process of making my first Java-based portable app, but Java as a platform is not a strong point for me. I seem to have come across something that isn't handled in the launcher manual, either that or I'm just not reading it correctly (always a possibility).

First of all, the app in question is Makagiga. I am using version 3.8.13 Portable/Cross-Platform purely because version 4 uses Java 7, for which there is currently no portable version.
