[R] building packages on windows

[Niels Waller]

Has anyone had success building a package on a windows machine?

I am trying the following command with no luck (perhaps my flags are
incorrect?).  At this point I am stuck. Any help greatly appreciated.

(BTW - I have no idea why it cannot find sh.exe since I have it is a
directory that is specified in a path statement)


H:\R\bin>rcmd build --binary --use-zip h:\taxon2
* checking for file 'h:\taxon2/DESCRIPTION' ... OK

make: Entering directory `/cygdrive/h/R/src/gnuwin32'
