compile from source (Win2000) - R-help

Hi,
what's wrong ?

C:\Rcompile\R-1.6.1\src\gnuwin32>make
MkRules:92: *** missing separator.  Stop.

(1) Download all neccessary file's
(2) Create a folder c:\Rcompile
(3) Copy Files from Tools.zip -> c:\Rcompile
(3) Install InnoSetup2 -> c:\Rcompile\Innosetup2
(4) Install HTMLHELPWorkshop -> c:\Rcompile\HTMLHELPWorkshop
(5) tar zxvf R-1.6.1.tgz  -> copy  files  to  c:\Rcompile\R1.6.1
(6) tar zxvf  pcre-3.9.tar.gz -> copy files to
c:\Rcompile\R.1.6.1\src\extra\pcre
(7) tar zxvf  bzip2-1.0.2.tar.gz -> copy files to
c:\Rcompile\R.1.6.1\src\extra\bzip2

Set all path for necessary folders !?

(perl)  works !
 C:\Rcompile\R-1.6.1\src\extra>perl -v
This is perl, v5.6.1 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
(with 1 registered patch, see perl -V for more detail)

(tcltk) & (miketex) works, too !
----------------------------------------

P.S.
What i have to done to install a package from source i.e.
OOP_0.4-1_R.tar.gz   in Win2000 ?

...unpack in rw1061\library\oop
and type
Rcmd Install oop   
works not !?
many thanks and regards,Christian

Read the top few lines of MkRules!

You have edited in an editor which damaged it, most likely.

We have seen this question several times during the last weeks. Most
likely you edited MkRules in a way that did not preserve the tabs (e.g.
WinEdt's default behaviour is replacing tabs by 4 blanks).
And tabs are syntactically neccessary!

In a nearly arbitrary folder, but *not* into this one, please. The
binaries will be installed into that folder automatically ...

Should work, if your R is running and configured appropriately (at least
when compiling the whole R works).
