R help - Jun 2009 - R CMD build for windows package from linux

Hi, exist any way to create a windows installable package from a Linux R
installation ??
I try R CMD build --binary --use-zip MyPack But generate a tar.gz file.

Thanks in advance

Not in general, but see 'Writing R Extensions'.  If no compiled code 
is involved -- you can then zip up the installed Linux package. More 
generally, you can submit to win-builder.r-project.org.
