I can't find anything on building packages for Windows in that manual. I did find a solution to the problem. On a Linux install, each package has a file CONTENTS. These are missing from the Windows install. I copied those files from my Linux install to my Windows install, and then I could build my own package. So I guess, these CONTENTS files should be included in the Windows install. I got another error message when I remove a package, but I couldn't see what effect this error has. When I run: d:\>Rcmd REMOVE iL04 The package gets removed, but I get: make: *** No rule to make target `indices'.
