In Windows, I tried to build and check Paul Gilbert's dse bundle with the command rcmd check ../library/dse It ran for a while and built the packages, then failed at the end with this: ** checking Rd files ... OK ** checking for undocumented objects ... OK ** creating syskern-Ex.R ... ERROR I get similar errors checking packages, but there make pkgcheck-foo works. I don't think there's a "bundlecheck-foo" target, is there? Any workarounds, or hints where I should look to figure out what went wrong?

No, but you can check individual packages in a bundle (just set the PKGDIR). However, there is a bug if a package has a tests directory, and it can be fixed by altering the RDIFF line near the top of src/gnuwin32/check/PkgCheck to be RDIFF = $(RHOME)/bin/Rcmd Rdiff.sh (This is fixed in the patched versions. Rdiff got altered fairly recently and broke this.)
Any workarounds, or hints where I should look to figure out what went wrong?
I think this is a Perl problem we have seen before. It works for me on NT (and I think worked for Uwe Ligges too). Earlier versions (build 613, for example) of Perl used to work on Win 98, but from ca 619 this happened. The problem relates to the shell used by the system() command in Perl.
