You are requiring specific Microsoft tools to compile a package, which
fails on one Microsoft OS, but not another. Isn't this a question you
should address to Microsoft?
For the record:
We support compiling in the compiler listed in the R-admin manual, which
is available from www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools. If you choose to
use a different compiler, you should seek support from its supplier.
