Dear R Development People:
 
I was trying to build R-2.12.2 from source on a Windows XP machine.
 
Doing the make all recommended works fine, but building the bitmap dll is a problem.
 
It seems to be in the libpng directory.  I got libpng-1.5.1, and untarred it.  However, there is no makefile.mingw file in the scripts directory.
 
I then obtained a version of libpng-1.4.5, and the file is there.  The dll file builds fine.
 
We might want to look at the libpng-1.5.1 directory.
 
Thanks for listening,
Sincerely,
Erin
