Hello all,
I was trying to compile a simple C program hello.c using R CMD SHLIB
hello.c.
MY R software residing in C:\Program Files\R\R-2.15.0, and also I have
downloaded the Rtools 2.15.0 and it is in C:\Rtools, MY file(hello.c) is in
E:\R_dir.
I have followed the procedures given below
1. In a new CMD.exe window I have set the path as

c:\ Rtools\bin; C:\Rtools\MinGW\bin;C:\Program Files\R\R-2.15.0\bin

2. I have changed the directory to E:\ where my file(hello.c) is residing
E:\>cd \R_dir
then I have given the command like this
E:\>cd \R_dir> R CMD SHLIB hello.c
Then I am getting the following message
cygwin warning:
 MS-DOS style path detected: E:/PROGRA~1/R/R-214~1.0/etc/
i386/Makeconf
 Preferred POSIX equivalent is:
/cygdrive/e/PROGRA~1/R/R-214~1.0/etc/i386/Makeconf
 CYGWIN environment variable option "nodosfilewarning" turns off this
warning.
 Consult the user's guide for more details about POSIX paths:
   http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#using-pathnames
Even though I have gone through several discussions in the same topic I am
not able to resolve my problem. It would be a great help if somebody knows
what exactly the problem and its solution and favorable suggestions.
Thank you
