The document http://www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/~kwan022/rinfo.php 
gives an excellent step by step description of how to make an R package for
Windows.

Subject: [R] Making R packages


Hi:

I am posting this message for a colleague who has 
a lot of trouble to build an R package on 
Windows. He did not find a solution to his 
problems on the R-help archives and hopes that 
one of the R gurus will be able to help.

He has a directory "CO2" which should contain all 
the required files and directories:
	DATA:
	DESCRIPTION
	MAN:
	R:
	README
	SRC:

The following command is run in a windows console:
	C:\Program Files\R\rw1071\bin\rcmd INSTALL D:\CO2

Then he gets the following error (approximate 
translation of a French message) :
	"Perl is not recognized as an internal or 
external command, an executable file or a command 
file"

Perl has of course been installed on the PC and 
my colleague has the "Tools" file. He does not 
know what is wrong although he suspects that 
environment variables (which ones?) must be 
changed.

Any help would be appreciated.
