On Windows it builds a zip file. If you are on Linux, you might [1] need [2].

For some time you can install a package without compilable sources on any R platform. So the tarball would be all that is needed. If compilation is needed, submit to winbuilder to make .zip file.

On Windows, R CMD INSTALL --build packagename produces a compiled .zip file. On Mac it produces a .tgz. Haven't tried it on Linux. Peter
I have Windows, but the "R CMD INSTALL --build pack" does not produce a compiled zip.
