[R] Transferring Package from Unix to NT

Hello all,

I currently have a working package called misc in Unix (successfully
completed the process of check, build, and install). So, now I am having
problems installing this package in R for windows... by the way, both
versions of R in Unix and Windows are 1.3
here is the process i went through and the problems I had:

-I zipped up the files from my package in unix:
	zip -rl ~/misc.zip misc
-this created a zip file misc.zip and I then transferred this to NT and
unzipped it into C:/rw1030/library
-At this point, I have a folder in C:/rw1030/library with all the correct
files in it...
-I then downloaded the tools from
http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/Rtools/tools.zip and unzipped the tools into
C:/rw1030/src/gnuwin32
- I also installed perl for NT from
http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/
-I then went into the Ms-DOS command prompt and did a cd to the following
folder: C:/rw1030/src/gnuwin32
- then the following command produced errors:
	C:\rw1030\src\gnuwin32\> make pkg-misc
	make: /bin/sh.exe: Command not found
	make: /bin/sh.exe: Command not found
	make: /bin/sh.exe: Command not found
	make: /bin/sh.exe: Command not found
	make: /bin/sh.exe: Command not found
	make: /bin/sh.exe: Command not found
	make: /bin/sh.exe: Command not found
	make: /bin/sh.exe: Command not found
	make: /bin/sh.exe: Command not found
	make: /bin/sh.exe: Command not found
	make: /bin/sh.exe: Command not found
	make: /bin/sh.exe: Command not found
	make DLLNM= EXTRADOCS= \
		-C /src/libarary/misc PKG=misc RHOME= RLIB=/library \
		-f /src/gnuwin32/MakePkg
	make: /bin/sh.exe: Command not found
	make: *** [pkg-misc] Error 127

I don''t understand why it''s not finding sh.exe. To try to fix
it I also
unzipped tools.zip into C:/rw1030/bin folder and the same error occurs... Is
there some sort of problem with the environment variables or maybe with
perl? Any help would be appreciated.

thanks,
    raja
