I follow Alan Lenarcic's very helpful tutorial on building R package for Windows

The package involves a small dll compiled from some very simple C++ codes.
1. Although the tutorial was certainly very helpful at the time it was
written, some parts are outdated these days. Please read Writing R
Extensions and the R Installation and Administration manual.
2. You probably forgot to tell your package to do something that
corresponds to dyn.load, either in a .FirstLib or in a NAMESPACE directive.

The build process seemed to work smoothly, until i install. Then I got an error saying
the C function was not in the load table. This is rather mysterious because I've been
able to call this function from R with dyn.load("name.dll"). So the dll is
working.
The install error says :
C:\R-test>R CMD INSTALL --build FirstPack_0.1.tar.gz

Here is how i built the package. I have the directory structure as described in
"Writing R Extensions" and I issued the following command in DOS prompt,
C:\R-test>R CMD build FirstPack
* checking for file 'FirstPack/DESCRIPTION' ... OK
* preparing 'FirstPack':
