From: http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/Rtools/ (entitled: "Building R for Windows"): "Support for the Cygwin compiler suite has been withdrawn: it has perennially been broken in the -mno-cygwin mode used with R." The portal gives comprehensive instructions for building R, with links to the tools needed. R built for Windows (including the binaries on CRAN) can be used from within cygwin if you like - including Rterm, but should be built following the standard instructions, which are based on a great deal of hard work and experience. Again, if you need to use R under cygwin, use the regular build.

I think you will find traces of why the main R binary, R.bin, has not been made in the output from the ./configure and make steps.

I know there are missing tex and Tcl/Tk packages on my CygWin installation How should I proceed 10X Guy
