installing package in Windows

Regarding my difficulty in building a package from source within Windows: as
Prof. Ripley suggested, I had not changed the line in
Rhome/src/gnuwin32/MkRules from "BUILD=MINGW32" to "BUILD=CYGWIN".  Once I
changed that, all ran smoothly

(Also, for the record, I hadn't looked at the qtl-Ex.Rout to find out what
the build error was, and I hadn't read the readme.packages file.)

Thanks for the quick response.  And thanks to all who have contributed to R;
it is totally cool.

Cheers,
karl

We need to find out why you can't load this. One common reason is that
your DLL depends on some other DLL that it can't find.  And one common
cause for that if you used cygwin-b20 is that you managed to compile
against the cygwin1.dll.  You did have MkRules set up for CYGNUS not
MINGW32?
