I have tried to compile R-1.3.1 under the Cygwin environment, but it does not seem to work, although the option is there. Must I use Mingw32? At the same time, I cannot figure out how to build packages from sources under Win32. Are there examples on how to do this?

Must I use Mingw32?Hint: The file you are looking for is called INSTALL, which says It *might* also be possible to use the compilers from the cygwin 1.1 net release with the -mno-cygwin -mwin32 flags; the current versions use mscrt.dll. (You will need the cygwin, gcc, mingw32, w32api and binutils bundles. All the recent versions we have tried do not work unchanged with -mno-cygwin.) Hint, hint: you need to mend the Cygwin environment, and I'm not going tell you how to do it, as my patches were rejected by the maintainers (with comments to the cygwin list, but not even copied to me). Most of us prefer to use working tools, but it's not compulsory. Please use a less misleading subject line. -- Brian D.

Must I use Mingw32?The "readme.packages" file suggests Mingw32 pretty strongly, so I think that's the safest thing to try.>At the same time, I cannot figure out how to build packages from sources >under Win32. > >Are there examples on how to do this?That's discussed in the same file.
