I think nowadays many Linux distros are no more ready than Windows for
this. On Linux, you'll likely need to install development libraries
and tools; on Windows, the same. The advantage of Windows is that the
tools have all been collected in one place
(www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools), so it's pretty easy to get
everything going.

Then how come Uwe Ligges provides a win.builder facility for Linux users to
build packages for Windoze, but there is no corresponding linux.builder
facility
for Windoze users to build packages for Linux? :-)
[Answer: There is no need, because package building is a breeze on Linux.
Even I can do it.]
cheers,

P. S. And if Duncan hadn't gone to all the trouble and effort of
collecting the tools
in one place, building packages on Windoze would be impossible for
ordinary mortals.
