R help - Apr 2008 - Builind C code for R with cygwin [C1]

Hello,

I would like to build shared lib for R using cygwin environment. After 
installing needed tools (mainly perl, make and compilers), I ran 
R CMD SHLIB hw.c

But I get the following error :
$ R CMD SHLIB hw.c
c:/PROGRA~1/R/R-26~1.2/src/gnuwin32/MakeDll:82: *** multiple target 
patterns.  Stop.

Google it didn't give me any hints.

Thanks for your help.
Sylvain Archenault.

And I guess you installed R for Windows and then tried to do this?

You must either
1) Build R under cygwin as a Unix-alike or
2) Use the Rtools make if building R for Windows.

R for Windows is a Windows program, and cygwin's make does not accept 
Windows' file paths any more (it used to).

But the 'R Installation and Administration Manual' told you firmly that 
this is not going to work.
