The issue is that your version of Windows is not properly changing to a 
C locale.  The solution is to start the build in an 8-bit (preferably C) 
locale.

This is documented in R-patched at least: see the posting guide (which 
asked you to try R-patched before posting) and 
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-patched/R-admin.html#Building-from-source

BTW: your email is not encoded correctly, so it may be that you have 
more pervasive locale breakages on your system.
Hi all,

          I??m trying to build R (32-bit) under Windows 7 (64-bit).

          To do so, I just use ??make all recommended?? as mentioned in the
documents and it does work for R 2.15.2.

          However, for R 3.0.2, I get the following error message,

                    gcc -shared -s -static-libgcc -o tools.dll tmp.def text.o
init.o Rmd5.o md5.o signals.o install.o getfmts.o http.o gramLatex.o gramRd.
o ../../../gnuwin32/dllversion.o -L../.././../bin/i386 -lR

Error in parse(n = -1, file = file, srcfile = NULL, keep.source = FALSE) :

   invalid multibyte character in parser at line 32021

Error: unable to load R code in package 'tools'

Execution halted

make[2]: *** [all] Error 1

make[1]: *** [R] Error 1

make: *** [all] Error 2

          It seems that I get stuck in building the package ??tools??.

Shall I just replace the codes for ??tools?? with those from R 2.15.2?

          Thanks for your help.
