The NielsW> instructions seems to be assuming that one is using Unix. kind of "yes". However, since you got the source, read - first the "R for Windows" FAQ = src/gnuwin32/rw-faq - then src/gnuwin32/INSTALL which will tell you where to get all the tools you need before you can even *think* of compiling R for windows. It starts with the GNU C compiler suite of the mingw32 tool box (again, see the INSTALL mentioned above).
