Ok, one last try. R1.2.0, WinNT 4.0:
[R is installed in: R_HOME=D:\Programme\R\rw1020]

Can anyone give a hint what the following error message (when running Rcmd
INSTALL) means and what to do about it? 

cd D:\Programme\R\rw1020\src\library
D:\Programme\R\rw1020\bin\rcmd install testfunctions
make: Entering directory `/cygdrive/d/Programme/R/rw1020/src/gnuwin32'
dlltool -k --as as   --dllname R.dll --def R.exp --output-lib libR.a
make: dlltool: Command not found
make: *** [libR.a] Error 127
make: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/d/Programme/R/rw1020/src/gnuwin32'
*** Installation of testfunctions failed ***

That would seem to mean that dlltool is not in your PATH or
nonexistant. I'm more than a bit rusty on the native Windows builds,
but I believe dlltool is supposed to be found among all the other
gnuwin32 tools like gcc.

dlltool.exe is part of the c compiler, e.g. gcc-2.95.2 from the mingw32
distribution.

Did you install it properly? Is the path set correctly?
