Error Building From Source

Greetings:

I am trying to build R-2.0.1 from source on windows.  My path is set to:

.;C:\RStools;C:\MinGW\bin;C:\perl\bin;C:\texmf\miktex\bin;C:\HTMLws\;C:\R201\R201\bin;%System
Root%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\
Common Files\Adaptec Shared\System;C:\LINGO9\

and Mkrules has been edited and reads

# path (possibly full path) to same version of R on the host system
R_EXE=C:/R201/R201/bin

when I type make I get the following:

---------- Making package base ------------
  adding build stamp to DESCRIPTION
C:/R201/R201/bin: not found
make[4]: *** [frontmatter] Error 127
make[3]: *** [all] Error 2
make[2]: *** [pkg-base] Error 2
make[1]: *** [rpackage] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

Any hints as to why it says it can not find C:/R201/R201/bin?  Any help
would be appreciated.

Alan

The corresponding section's header is
"cross-compilation settings", hence don't change it if compiling on 
Windows. "R" is perfect, here.
You don't need to specify this path anywhere in MkRules.
