Windows compile

That worked great, thank you.  but it seems I have a new error occurring 
after the zipping of the help files:

hhc: not found
cp: cannot stat `C:/R/R-2.1.1/src/library/base/chm/base.chm': No such 
file or di
rectory
make[3]: *** [chm-base] Error 1
make[2]: *** [pkg-base] Error 2
make[1]: *** [rpackage] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

Any advise?

The path is the system path.  You specify it in your shell, before 
starting make, or in one of the Control Panel settings (if you want to 
make the change system wide).

I'd suggest writing a batch file that sets the path, and run it before 
a build.  Then you don't need to worry about side effects of changes 
on other programs.

It will look something like this:

path=.;f:\r\tools\bin;f:\perl\bin;f:\minGW\bin;f:\cygwin\bin;c:\util\misc;c:\windows\command;F:\texmf\miktex\bin;c:\progra~1\htmlhe~1 


but this is from a very old batch file (I don't use the Windows shell 
any more), and of course the paths to the programs will likely be 
different on your system than on mine.

Also I did a search for Rpwd.exe and it seems I don't have that 
file.  I have Rpwd.c.  It seems I'm missing an important step in the 
build processes, but I don't know what it is.

Rpwd.exe is made in one of the first steps of the build process.  What 
you missed is setting up the path so that the build can proceed.

sh.exe is one of the programs in the tools collection, so it looks 
as though you don't have that on your path.  Getting the path right 
is important.  A description of what you need in the path is in the 
R Installation and Administration manual.
