some queries over cross-compilation
Cross compiling support has been dropped. If you want to have it, please patch the sources yourself. If you just want to get a Windows biunary of one package and you do not have a Windows machine around, you may use the service at: http://win-builder.r-project.org/ Uwe Ligges

Dear R developers, I ran into some problems that I wish to get around. Following the recommendation from "Building R for Windows" (Duncan's site) I was able to obtain some files from Brian's site for relevant tools for cross-compile. Initially I was able to cross-compile Windows packages happily with the setup I had based on R 2.7.0 (essentially as described in cran.r-project.org/doc/contrib/cross-build.pdf) but got it entirely muddled up with R 2.11.0. I found this was actually not officially supported from R 2.9.0. I then found I cannot even remove the Tcl directory (8-5-8) even I move or rename it. Is there a way to do that? I wonder if there is an equivalent of i586-mingw32 (x86_64-w64-mingw32-) or I have to customise that myself. I got errors at various stage and at one time i586-mingw32-nm could not recognise ch2inv.o that was generated. Perhaps I would get some headway with alternative. Perhaps I would need also reestablish my R 2.7.0 cross-compile to see if my initial build was just a fake. Many thanks, Jing Hua
