Please note the R posting guide: none of the helpers will still be on R
2.3.1. This looks like a bug in the shell you have 'make' set up to use:
it is not an OS-specific issue as that should be sh.exe from the Rtools
distribution (and that recommended for R 2.3.1 is no longer available).

Hello,
I have a problem with the checking and building of R packages that contain C or
FORTRAN code.
I have implemented R 2.3.1 (2006-06-01) and the corresponding toolset under
Windows XP and Windows 2000.
The MinGW compiler components are (exactly as recommended for R 2.3.1)
gcc-core-3.4.5-20051220-1.tar.gz
gcc-g++-3.4.5-20051220-1.tar.gz
gcc-g77-3.4.5-20051220-1.tar.gz
binutils-2.16.91-20050827-1.tar.gz
mingw-runtime-3.9.tar.gz
w32api-3.6.tar.gz
Under Windows 2000, everything works fine. Under Windows XP, R packages without
C or FORTRAN code can be built without any problem.
Also, the C or FORTRAN code can be compiled using the command R CMD SHLIB.
The problem is, that building packages that contain C or FORTRAN code fails
(only under Windows XP).
The command R CMD Check test gives
* using log directory 'F:/test.Rcheck'
* using Version 2.3.1 (2006-06-01)
* checking for file 'test/DESCRIPTION' ... OK
* this is package 'test' version '0.1-1'
* checking package dependencies ... OK
* checking if this is a source package ... OK
* checking whether package 'test' can be installed ... ERROR
Installation failed.
See 'F:/test.Rcheck/00install.out' for details.
The file 00install.out contains the message:
---------- Making package test ------------
adding build stamp to DESCRIPTION
making DLL ...
Syntax error: "elif" unexpected (expecting "then")
make[2]: *** [srcDynlib] Error 2
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make: *** [pkg-test] Error 2
*** Installation of test failed ***
I have already tested different (recommended) orders in the path variable, the
actual value is
C:\Programme\RTools\bin;C:\Programme\Perl\bin;C:\Programme\R\R-2.3.1\bin;
C:\Programme\Texmf\miktex\bin;C:\Programme\HTML_Help_Workshop;
/* other things */;C:\Programme\MinGW\bin
Does anybody can give me a hint?
Thank you very much for your time!
