You can see how the appveyor build works here: https://github.com/rwinlib/base I suggest that you work off the build process in the rwinlib repository so you are starting from something that you know works and already incorporates the set of dependencies you need.

For what it's worth I've been successfully building R+OpenBLAS on Windows64 since 2013, which I believe predates rwinlib on github, but I may be mistaken. Thus, I don't think I'm incorrect in saying that the instructions I provide are also "something that you know works" :) I did make the explicit assumption that people will successfully follow the instructions at R Installation & Administration. Perhaps that is too much to ask. Thanks, Avi
