Dear Uwe,

Thanks -- I also found Rtools11.exe work very well under my home PC with Windows Vista.

Initially I was able to cross-compile Windows packages happily with the setup I had based on R 2.7.0  (essentially as described in cran.r-project.org/doc/contrib/cross-build.pdf) but got it entirely muddled up with R 2.11.0. I found this was actually not officially supported from R 2.9.0.

I got errors at various stage and at one time  i586-mingw32-nm could not recognise ch2inv.o that was generated. Perhaps I would get some headway with alternative. Perhaps I would need also reestablish my R 2.7.0 cross-compile to see if my initial build was just a fake.
