That message is just that you have not set up Rtools fully.  As it says,
set CYGWIN=nodosfilewarning in your environment.  See §D.3 in the 
R-admin manual, e.g. 
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-admin.html#The-command-line-tools 
.

We can see nothing from what you supplied, as it was not a build in 
clean sources.
