Hi An attempt to use R and Rtools in Wine fails, see the bug report to Wine: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34865 The people there say that Rtools uses an outdated Cygwin DLL with a custom patch. Is there any chance we can upgrade our Cygwin DLL to a supported upstream version? Thanks.
Rtools doesn't use any special Cygwin dlls. The one in the current distribution is rather old, so if it doesn't work in Wine, just go to the Cygwin site and install a newer Cygwin version. (Not sure if this is easy in Wine, but you could do it on a Windows machine, and copy the files over.) Duncan Murdoch
