newbie question: call C function from R in Windows XP

Hello,

I need to call an C function MH.c in my R code in Windows XP. I downloaded 
the software form http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/Rtools/ and installed them. 
But when I run the command "..\bin\Rcmd SHLIB MH.c", I got message "perl is 
not recognized as and internal or external command, operable program or 
batch file". How should I do?

As a newbie, I just wonder if there is a setup file so I can install all 
the software I needed for compiling C code once and for all. Can someone 
provide me a comprehensive list for the installation? Thanks very much!

Lei

Install perl like that web page (and readme.packages) suggests.
No location, as the locations etc change almost weekly.

The file readme.packages does have a comprehensive list and a checklist.

There is a portal provided, which you went to, and that too contains all
the information.  We can't do the clicking for you!

You need Perl.  I think that's the only other tool you will need.
We can't provide a single package of everything, largely because of the
licensing terms of the Perl distribution.  There is a comprehensive list
in readme.packages.
