As you noted, I am in the process of changing the Makefiles and instructions, mainly because the Cygwin release has changed and (aargh!) not longer has a fully functional make, and the header set has also changed. It's a rash assumption that the R-devel or R-release-patched will cross-compile as we only test that occasionally, including just
before
release.
It did last night, though (R-1-0-patches, that is).
..as does R-devel as of this moment.
Indeed it does. To make life a bit easier I have put up a complete current cross-tools set with the latest headers at http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/bdr/RWin/i386cross.tar.bz2 (ca 5Mb) Just unpack it somewhere, put the bin directory in your path and follow the instructions in INSTALL. The caveat remains, though: this is not tested frequently.
