Windows fixed/etc/Makeconf SHELL incorrect?

D:\mtmorgan\src\R-devel>bin\R CMD config CC
make: /bin/sh: Command not found
make: ** [print] Error 127
make: /bin/sh: Command not found
make: ** [print] Error 127

D:\mtmorgan\src\R-devel>bin\R CMD config CC

This is on a system where cygwin and Rtools (from your installer) are
under c:/usr (rather than the more usual location for cygwin directly
under c:/). The system has seen many cooks over the years, and there
could well be a misconfiguration somewhere else. PATH (e.g., to make,
sh, ar) seem to point to the right location, versions seem to be
correct, and changing SHELL to sh remedies the situation.
I am pretty sure that has the wrong make.exe.  Works for me without having 
/bin/sh on the system, and I worked hard to build a make.exe that was not 
looking for /bin/sh.

Does it work for you if SHELL is commented out in etc/Makeconf?
Thanks,

Martin

R developers,

On windows, it seems like R_HOME/etc/Makeconf has

SHELL = /bin/sh

instead of the location of Rtools' sh. I think this is because
R_HOME/src/gnuwin32/fixed/etc/Makeconf needs to define SHELL as just
sh (since Rtools/bin  has to be on the PATH).

This is of consequence with R CMD config.

Could you show what goes wrong?  I don't don't see any problems.
