[R] Bug in R-install -- sysdata.rda

[Jeff Newmiller]

Please don't post to multiple lists at once... this is widely frowned on by many mailing lists. If you simply read the Posting Guide it will inform you that you should post questions "related to compiling" on r-devel.

I also recommend that you read the R Administration and Installation manual, because I don't think cygwin is actually a supported platform... the Rtools development tool chain is the supported approach for building on Windows.
