Under Linux the cleanup script (if it exists) is run at the end, before

Unfortunately, this does not happen under Windows when there
is a cleanup.win. That is, cleanup.win is not run before the
archive is created.
Here is the code in build.pl that checks for cleanup and runs
it before building the archive:
if(!$WINDOWS&& -x "./cleanup") {
$log->message("running cleanup");
R_system("./cleanup");
}
But the case where $WINDOWS is true is never
addressed.
The problem can be resolved by adding:
if($WINDOWS&& -e "./cleanup.win") {
$log->message("running cleanup.win");
R_system("./cleanup.win")
}
Does this make sense?
Since changes can only happen for R-devel, I'd suggest to think about
the *R* code in R-devel rather than a perl script that does not exists
any more (just its backup copy obuild.pl exists) in the current R-devel
sources.
Another point to be considered is why you need a cleanup script. I have
rarely seen cases where this is required.
Best,
