Issues with building package with C src on windows [R CMD INSTALL ignoring makefile]
If all else fails, read the manual: it is explicitly documented that you need a file src/Makefile.win . And very likely you should rather study the manual to resolve what issue you think 'requires' a Makefile: those who want to use R on other platforms (e.g. Solaris and AIX) are unlikely to thank you for taking that route.

I've written a rather complex package that requires overriding the default compilation behavior for the C code component. In the src dir I have a Makefile that is used correctly on OSX and Linux builds of the package, but completely ignored on windows. R CMD INSTALL<package> on windows runs Makeconf instead of running make on my Makefile. If run make in the src directory manually on windows, the shared library compiles. How can I get the INSTALL command to look for the Makefile? I am building on R 2.14.0 on a win 7 vm. Thanks Jonathan
