You are reading about old versions of R: R.exp has not been part of R for
about a year.

Please do read more carefully README.packages, which says
Using Visual C++
================
You may if you prefer use Visual C++ to make the DLLs (unless they use
Fortran source!). First build the import library Rdll.lib by
make R.exp
lib /def:R.exp /out:Rdll.lib
You generate the file using the first of these lines: it starts
LIBRARY R.dll
