building packages under NT - missing headers?

I'm attempting to build an R package for some of my own code (using NT
x86, rw0640, cygwin b20.1)

The problem is that some header files required to build libR.seem to be
missing from the distribution

$ make libR.a
dataentry.c:20: Defn.h: No such file or directory
dataentry.c:21: Print.h: No such file or directory

These files were not part of the rw0640s archive,  but I note that they
exist in the 'official' R source -  and I had no problems building the
package with the previous  release  (633)

Any ideas what I have missed?

Thanks for the help

To build libR.a you need the rw0640sp (not rw0640s) distribution: it is the
latter that is intended for package builders, as the readme.packages says.
This was true for rw0633 too. rw0640sp.zip should include the include files
and R.exp, which is what is trying to be built here.

Let us know privately if you have any further problems.
