[R] Need some help for building R!

[Kenneth Cabrera]

Hello Dear R Developers and Users:

I'm trying to compile R with all the tools of the CRAN page.
I compile the R-1.2.2 version without problem.

But when I try to compile the development version 1.3.0 it
doesn't work  when I write the command:

make BUILD=MINGW32

First it shows me something like this (I think without problems):
As I make when I compile succesfuly the R-1.2.2 version:

Then it stops with this error:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ld:R.def:1: parse error
F:\GCC-29~1.2\BIN\MAKE.EXE: *** [R.dll] Error 1

What is my mistake? (Remember that the process work with the previous
version 1.2.2)

Thank you very much for you help
