builiding R from sources
Please tell us which version of R. If this is 2.2.0 (I think it is) you need to review the tools you are using, as mingw-runtime-3.8 is required. (It says so explicitly in that manual, and that is the current version of that package.) For R-patched you will also need a recent enough version of binutils (the ones mentioned in those places are recent enough). NB: Dr Goto's BLAS is no longer available for Windows, and it seems it is not going to be in future. For Linux it is now available for academic use only.

Dear R users, I've been trying to build R from sources (in Windows) using Dr. Goto's BLAS, unsuccessfully! I've followed the instructions in Section 3.1.2-3.1.3 of "R Installation and Administration" manual (but maybe I did something wrong), but I keep receiving the following error: -- initially I get -- make: ./Rpwd.exe: Command not found make[1]: ./Rpwd.exe: Command not found
That is just a warning, I think.
