Hello all,
I am trying to port the package RProtoBuf to windows. The developers of RProtoBuf have given me some helpful pointers so far, but now I am stuck.

After having made what I think are the necessary changes to the package to compile on windows, "R CMD build RProtoBuf" outputs a somewhat cryptic error ("This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way") after which it deletes the temporary directory in which it was working. How do I debug/investigate this? The relevant lines of the build output are pasted below.
Thanks! Koert
