[R] build.pl in building library with Rtools211

R CMD build (lower case) indeed works. I was confused with older versions of Rtools where it didn't matter if you used lower or upper case (as well as that I thought under DOS upper and lower cases don't make a difference). I was wrong however.
Thanks for the help

What did you try?
R CMD build (build all lower case) does work for me
