[Rd] make pkg on windows NT

[Nicholas Lewin-Koh]

Hi,

I am trying to compile a package i am developing on my home computer where
i am running Windows NT 4.0 service pack 6. Everything works fine on my
other computer at work running windows 98.

I am using the cygwin 1.1 bash shell and tolls with the MingW compiler,
version 2.95.2-1
installed seperately and first in the path. I have active perl 6.16 
as well. Here is the error I get when i run the make pkg-  script from the
gnuwin32 directory

bash-2.03$ make DEBUG=T pkg-maptools
make DLLNM=  EXTRADOCS= \
  -C c:/Rnew/rw1010/src/library/maptools PKG=maptools RHOME=c:/Rnew/rw1010
RLIB=
c:/Rnew/rw1010/library \
  -f c:/Rnew/rw1010/src/gnuwin32/MakePkg
make[1]: Entering directory `c:/Rnew/rw1010/src/library/maptools'
Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
make[1]: *** [c:/Rnew/rw1010/library/maptools/zzzz] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `c:/Rnew/rw1010/src/library/maptools'
make: *** [pkg-maptools] Error 2

also here is my R version info
$platform
[1] "Windows"
$arch
[1] "x86"
$os
[1] "Win32"
$system
[1] "x86, Win32"
$status
[1] ""
$major
[1] "1"
$minor
[1] "1.0"
$year
[1] "2000"
$month
[1] "June"
$day
[1] "15"
$language
[1] "R"


Oh and one last Question, I noted on Dr. Ripley's RTools page that he
recommends MingW 2.95.2-1 the crtdll version rather than the msvrt
version. I have not noticed any problems yet with other stuff i have
compiled, are there any problems dynamically linking code built with the
other version that I am unaware Of?

thanks
Nicholas
