Comment:

 Replying to [comment:6 aghisla]:
 > MarkusN suggested me to put a condition in the Makefile, like i.fft
 module does, and skip v.krige compilation if dependencies are missing.
 >
 > Actually the only dependency visible at compile time is python-rpy2,
 that I plan to remove. In order to fix the compilation error with present
 codebase, I'd appreciate suggestions on how to check this Python
 dependency in the Makefile.
 >
 > Would it make sense to make a new configuration parameter, like --with-R
 ?
 >
 > Ideas welcome!
 >
 > Many thanks,

 {{{
 Microsoft’s Windows precompiled binaries

 If available, the executable can be run; this will install the package in
 the default Python installation.

 For few releases in the 2.0.x series, Microsoft Windows binaries were
 contributed by Laurent Oget from Predictix.

 There is currently no binaries or support for Microsoft Windows (more for
 lack of ressources than anything else).

 changing ticket to wontfix as rpy2's windows binaries are no longer
 available.
