No, do this from a DOS shell. The usual problems are either missing
components from the installation steps outlined in Building R for
Windows, or an incorrect PATH variable so that windows or cygwin
versions of programs are used rather than MinGW / Rtools.

Also, this question belongs on the R-devel list, where those doing
development work are more likely to see and respond to your
questions.

Hope that helps,
