Thanks. I did not explain clearly that the executables are not compiled during package compilation, apologies. They are compiled beforehand, as they use ADMB (AD Model Builder) and placed in inst/bin/windows.
I assume Makefile.win could copy the appropriate one from PKG/bin/$arch to PKG/inst/bin/ so that the right one is installed?
