[R] Building R from source

[YONGWAN CHUN]

Hello,


I was trying to build R from source on Windows XP. I installed software which are mentioned from the follow web page http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/ (Last accessed on Nov. 13th, 2006) . Unfortunately, I got error messages whenever I run 'make all recommended' without modifying 'MkRules' file. I have removed software and reinstalled them several times but I still failed to get it done. The below message is what I got.

If anybody gives information, I would appreciate it very much. 

Thanks, 

Yongwan
