Hi Avraham, What a coincidence, I have been following this post of yours: https://www.avrahamadler.com/2013/10/24/an-openblas-based-rblas-for-windows-64-step-by-step/
Looks like this post is slightly older than what you have shared previously. It is strange that you did not get the attachments. I am pasting the contents of the MkRules.local here: ------------------------------------------------------------------- #-*- Makefile -*- ## This is only used when building R itself but it does customize ## etc/*/Makeconf using LOCAL_SOFT, BINPREF[64], IMPLIB and R_ARCH ## Customize by copying to MkRules.local and uncommenting and editing ## some of the definitions there. ## ## =========== configuration macros for building packages ================ # Absolute path to '/usr/local' software collection.

I have used the latest version of R 3.4.3 with the latest version of rtools: Rtools34.exe. Not sure why but i have feeling that the culprit might be a setting in the MkRules.
