Look in MkRules and the rw-FAQ. You can easily build R under Mingw64,
but no one has reported making it run -- and several have reported
failures.
Commercail vendors have built 64-bit R under other Windwos compilers.

Hi all,
I have successfully built from source the 32-bit version of R on my
Vista 64-bit box. I was hoping to graduate to a 64-bit version so I
could analyze some larger data sets. I have 8gb RAM installed.
I downloaded the latest 64-bit versions of Perl and MinGW but wasn't
sure how to edit the source code to have it build using the 64-bit
versions. I did change my PATH variable to point to the bin directories
of the 64-bit Perl and MinGW packages.
Any pointers would be very helpful.
Thanks,
Fraser
