I wrote an R function and want to build an R package on winXP.

Under C:\WINDOWS\System32\cmd.exe, I got the error message: Please set TMPDIR to a valid temporary directory.
So, please do as you were asked: it is discussed in readme.packages.
Under Cygwin, I got the error message:
You said you wanted to build on winXP, not under Cygwin.

Because you are not following the instructions, which are to use *Windows* Perl. Once again, this is in the file readme.packages.
