[Rd] running 'make' failed during vignette creation ('R CMD build') on Windows

Hi,

This is a follow-up to the problem reported here:

   https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2010-September/058460.html

After I updated R-2.12 to 2010-09-13 r52905 on the Bioc build system,
some of the packages that have a Makefile in <pkg>/inst/doc still
don't build on Windows. For example, 'R\bin\R.exe CMD build adSplit'
gives:

* checking for file 'adSplit/DESCRIPTION' ... OK
* preparing 'adSplit':
* checking DESCRIPTION meta-information ... OK
* cleaning src
* installing the package to re-build vignettes
* creating vignettes ... ERROR

make: *** [pdf] Error 1
Error in tools::buildVignettes(dir = ".") : running 'make' failed
Execution halted

What's different though with this updated R, it that now I get an
error instead of a timeout. Maybe the code that fires the R subprocess
in charge of running tools::buildVignettes() now does better error
checking/handling, I don't know (it seems to have changed between
the 2 versions of R).

A new mystery is why the tilingArray package now does build on
Windows (it was timing out with the previous version of R).
I already sent the content of adSplit/inst/doc/Makefile
in the previous thread and tilingArray does nothing different:

all: findsegments costMatrix assessNorm segmentation plotAlongChrom clean

findsegments: findsegments.tex
         pdflatex findsegments
         pdflatex findsegments

costMatrix: costMatrix.tex
         pdflatex costMatrix
         pdflatex costMatrix

assessNorm: assessNorm.tex
         cp -p ../scripts/assessNorm.pdf .

segmentation: segmentation.tex
         cp -p ../scripts/segmentation.pdf .

plotAlongChrom: plotAlongChrom.tex
         pdflatex plotAlongChrom
         pdflatex plotAlongChrom
clean:
         rm -f *.out *.bbl *.log *.aux *.blg *.brf *.toc *.tex
         rm -f *.dvi *.ps findsegments-* costMatrix-* plotAlongChrom-* 
Rplots.pdf

Another thing that is really puzzling is that if I cd to
adSplit/inst/doc and run 'R CMD make' then it works.

Any help/comment on this will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
H.
